Short for
Communication Decency Act. The CDA is an amendment to the
U.S. 1996 Telecommunications Act that went into effect in February
1996. The law was intended to protect children from obscenity on the
Internet, but many Internet users argued that its language was too
vague and it violated the rights of free speech. Protesters against
the law turned their web pages black and displayed blue ribbon icons
downloaded from the Electronic Frontier
Foundation.

protecting children on the Internet can also be found on document
