COMMERCE DEPARTMENT BEGINS PUBLIC MEETINGS ON INTERNET PRIVACY The Department of Commerce (DOC) will hold a two day public meeting on Internet Privacy today and Wednesday-- June 23 and 24. CDT will be participating in the event along with other consumer and privacy advocates. Your input is vital to this discussion. The agenda for the event can be found at the DOC privacy page: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/privacy/ The event will also be cybercast live. You can let your voice be heard by sending comments on the Department of Commerce's plans from CDT's comment page: http://www.cdt.org/privacy/survey Recent statements from the DOC indicate that the Administration does not view the July 1, 1998 deadline, set by their Framework for Electronic Commerce paper, as a cut-off for assessing the success of industry self-regulatory activities to protect privacy. Yet, while self-regulation should be a piece of privacy protections, the recent Federal Trade Commission report to Congress (see CDT Policy Post 4.14 for more information) demonstrates overwhelming evidence of the failure of private sector action alone to provide even basic safeguards. CDT believes that the conference this week should serve as the jumping-off point for the White House's effort to develop a coherent national policy on privacy. It is critical that the Administration work with Congress, privacy and consumer advocates, and members of the business community committed to providing privacy protections for their customers, to craft a framework for privacy protection. Towards this end CDT urges the Administration to work with Congress, the advocacy community, and all relevant stake holders to: * develop specific proposals to protect individual privacy through self-regulation, legislation and public education; * develop appropriate policy to protect children's privacy; * explore the role of technology in protecting privacy and methods by which the government can promote the development of privacy-enhancing technologies; and, * craft the outline of a privacy infrastructure including the creation of a federal entity to develop privacy policy in both the public and private sectors. It is time to develop the proposals and the strategy to move a national privacy policy forward.

Two measures, which were attached to a spending bill for the Commerce, State, and Justice departments after a voice vote, are based on two previously introduced bills: The Communications Decency Act (CDA) II (introduced by Senator Coats) and the Internet School Filtering Act (introduced by Senator McCain). Both are misguided efforts which will have a chilling effect on constitutionally-protected speech. Not only are they likely to be found unconstitutional, but they will certainly be ineffective at protecting children. Nevertheless, Congress is using these bills to posture, once again, on the issue of pornography on the Internet. CDT believes that a far better, more effective and more constitutional approach would be for Congress to lend its support to the effort to encourage parents to take responsibility for their children's Internet usage, and to encourage the development of tools which can help parents. Such a step has already been taken in a letter written by Senator Lieberman and Representative White . The Lieberman/White letter calls on Internet industry leaders to redouble their efforts to provide parents the tools and advice needed to guide their children's use of the Net. This letter was sent to the leaders of the Internet community who attended the Kids Online Summit in December which followed a July 1997 meeting with the White House. America saw what happened to the original CDA after being past by the last Congress -- the Supreme Court unanimously overturned it and told Congress in no uncertain terms that the Internet was entitled to "the highest protection from governmental intrusion." But with this Congress nearing its end, legislators is poised to make the same mistake all over again. _____________________________________________________________________________ (2) BACKGROUND ANALYSIS CDT believes the language taken from McCain bill and the Coats bill are unconstitutional because they both attempt to impose a single national standard controlling what everyone online can see, think and say. The McCain bill (Internet School Filtering Act - S. 1619) would force schools and libraries with federally-subsidized Internet access to use software filters. Such a federal mandate likely violates the First Amendment because it places an unconstitutional condition upon receipt of federal funds. Although the Supreme Court has permitted some limited restrictions on federally funded speech (Rust v. Sullivan), the First Amendment forbids government from fashioning broad speech prohibitions by withholding federal funds. The Coats bill (CDA II - S.1482) appears to cover a more narrow range of speech than its predecessor, but still suffers from fundamental constitutional infirmities which will surely lead to yet another round of litigation. Moreover, both CDA I & II are ultimately ineffective at addressing a very real problem: the availability of inappropriate material online to children. In 1973 (in Miller v. California), the Supreme Court made 'contemporary community standards' the law of the land on the regulation of obscenity and material that is harmful to minors. Indeed, in Ginsberg v. New York, where the Court upheld restrictions on the sale of material harmful to minors, the Court explicitly noted that the definition of such material was based on "prevailing standards in the adult community." But the McCain and Coats bills ignore--as the CDA ignored--the diversity of moral principles that hold sway in communities across the nation--and among the thousands of communities that exist on the Internet. Both bills also ignore the right of parents to teach their children responsibility and judgment as they see fit. It IS possible to find ways to protect children online without sacrificing the free speech values of the First Amendment. Nonprofit organizations and Internet industry members have been working for many months on solutions that will help keep children safe on the Internet. For information on a series of initiatives developed in the aftermath of a major summit meeting in early December for the entire Internet community -- including Internet/online service providers, online publishers, software companies, librarians, educators, children's advocates and civil libertarians -- see http://www.kidsonline.org . Congress simply shouldn't make a rush to legislative judgment until it has heard from all of these people.

This newsletter provides information on surveys and reports on the Internet, and is brought to you by Nua - one of Europe's leading Internet consultancies and developers. The Internet School Filtering Act, sponsored by Senator John McCain, Arizona, recommends that public libraries and schools in the US install filtering software on all machines connected to the Internet. The bill is presented as being about protecting children from stumbling on potentially harmful material. While there is clearly a growing concern among parents for the protection of children online, the bill raises more questions than it answers. The most fundamental questions are: what is harmful material and who decides what is harmful? The proposed bill begs the question, who should monitor children's and in the case of public libraries, adults' Internet activity, the US government or the parents of those children? To what extent can you ask people to behave and have the same views as others? Is blanket legislation realistic? The children that are being protected are most likely to be the children who are naturally more adept at technological navigation and it's likely that they will innovate and find ways to get around filtering software. In addition curiosity is often roused by secrecy. In the case of pornography, while it is universally available on the Net, many sites - perhaps even a majority demand a credit card number upon entry. The majority of material deemed harmful by the majority of people has to be consciously sought out online. If someone, child or adult, is seeking this kind of material out on the Internet then it's not unreasonable to suggest that they will seek it out in physical shops. If they are going to public libraries to access the Internet we can assume that they probably cannot afford their own PCs/Web TV or Internet access or they do not want to use work accounts for private Internet use. Of course this is a generalisation and there are obviously other reasons why one might have to use public computers to go online but public libraries should be just that, public. Those who use public machines to go online are fighting an uphill battle in terms of having equal acess to the most important communications medium of the late C20th and the suggestion that they should be monitored or "babysat" in any way is offensive. There are many problems with this bill, least of all the fundamental assumption that people need to be guided or controlled in some way, be they parents or individuals. In a very quick straw poll of my colleagues in Nua, I asked the following questions, and 15 (about half the staff) took the time to answer. [Has anyone ever been "really offended" by material they came accross online, either through email or surfing?] - Four said yes [Would you advocate blanket legislation for filtering content in public libraries and schools or should it be left up to individuals and parents?] - 12 said it should be left to individuals, 3 were unsure. [Does anyone think that blanket legislation for children's use of the Net is the start of a slippery slope towards controlling people's use of the Internet?] - 15 said yes. We're not a particularly paranoid bunch here at Nua but the unanimous response to the last question provides much food for thought. The implementation of blanket legislation "for the protection of children" is in my mind paranoid on the behalf of those who advocate it. Parents have up until now made their own decisions on what their children should or should not be exposed to, from books to television programmes. Why does the Internet in particular incapacitate that ability to monitor children? What exactly is on the Internet that is not in the physical world? Are parents and teachers who may not be that familiar with the Internet and its culture being scaremongered into thinking that their children will be corrupted if they go online without filtering software? What is the need for filtering software in a public school if there is a supervisor? Should children be left unsupervised by an adult and supervised by software that decides what they can and can't see and that is often prejudiced against minority groups such as gays and lesbians. What do you think? Is mise le meas, Sorcha Ni hEilidhe. surveys@nua.ie

Protecting Your Kids From Inappropriate On-Line Material The Internet is an invaluable educational tool, but for parents, it can also be a nightmare. Here are some tips for keeping your kids away from sexually explicit websites and other questionable on-line content. - Drape your computer in terrifying slaughterhouse entrails to make it unappealing to youngsters. - Go to the favorites file in your web browser. Retitle "Goat Porn" folder "Financial." - Young boys are understandably curious about Internet porn -- but not if you patiently explain to them that women's vaginas have razor-sharp teeth that can bite off a child's hand. - Tape pages of The Bible securely over your child's eyes, ears and mouth, then double their daily butterchurn chore-hours. - Periodically check your family computer's log-on history for any pornographic sites not visited by yourself. - Make sure your child does not use the Internet after 9 p.m. - Do not allow your kids to become desensitized to violence. Beat them harder each day. - Glue storybook pictures to your computer's monitor. Tell your child this is the Internet. - Ask yourself why, if you can't exercise even a moderate degree of control over your children, you bothered to have kids in the first place. - Write letter asking website "Cock-Craving Asian Nympho-Teen Cum Sluts" to tone it down a bit. - Replace your children with responsible adults. - Provide your child with a detailed list of every website he or she is not to visit. - Force your child to look at pornography for many hours straight until child begs, "No more!" � Copyright 1998 Onion, Inc., All rights reserved.

This newsletter provides information on surveys and reports on the Internet, and is brought to you by Nua - one of Europe's leading Internet consultancies and developers. Last week I discussed the concepts of filtering and blocking software, and in response to issues raised, I received considerable feedback. In light of this, I feel I should clarify some of the points made. Firstly, I am not advocating that children have unfettered access to all material online. Neither am I endorsing the propagation of pornography online under the guise of information freedom. I am not saying that parents should not bother to opt for filters. Avoiding words like mutton and lamb, I was pointing out that societies should think twice about farming out what has traditionally been the domain of individuals/family to governments. I am not interested in "big brother" scaremongering, I am interested in realising the right and more importantly the responsibility of the individual to choose what is moral and what is immoral. Relinquishing decisions like, "what is ok for my children to see" to governments who, in the interests of representing all concerned parties, will have to draw up legislation which accommodates *everyone's* concerns, will diminish the experience and destroy the ethos of the Internet. I am not interested in "big brother" scaremongering, I am interested in realising the right and more importantly the responsibility of the individual to choose what is moral and what is immoral. Relinquishing to the governments such decisions as "what is ok for my children to see", could result in the drafting of legislation which accommodates *everyone's* concerns, thus diminishes the experience and destroys the ethos of the Internet. An analogy can be drawn, albeit a frivolous one, to the Christmas Episode of the controversial *South Park* show, when the South Park mayor passes an ordinance to ban Christmas, because some residents of the community are offended by the Nativity, christmas lights, mistletoe or the consumption of turkeys. Marcia Fairweather from the US wrote to say that, 'the suggestion that the government has no business being involved is foolish. The following point is patently asinine - "Who should monitor childrens' and public libraries' [adults] Internet activities...?". First, these are PUBLIC institutions, they are funded by taxpayer dollars and are therefore subject to government oversight if not outright dictate. The taxpayers of THIS country have made a compact with our elected officials, we provide financial support and then elect individuals to promote and act for the public good.' Yes, this is how it's supposed to work, ideally. However, the Internet was created on the crest of a liberal wave and essentially belongs to the private sector. Perhaps now that it is increasingly publicly accessible, people feel the need to implement the rules of the wider society. However, I don't agree that a medium which is championed for its abundance of information and its accommodation of all opinions, including minority and dissident, should allow itself become a puppet in the hands of mainstream politics. Furthermore, I think it is patently clear that governments, and the U.S. government in particular would rather avoid Internet regulation. They have repeatedly pointed to the need for the private sector to agree on protocols and implement them. This has been their stance on privacy, censorship and domain registration. In the case of the Internet School Filtering Act, I think there is a case for double indemnity. As I understand it the proposed Bill will make it mandatory for those schools and public libraries applying for financial assistance to install filters on their government sponsored computers. I am assuming that the majority of schools and libraries applying for government grants are in need of financial assistance and are thus located in economically challenged areas. I am assuming that the people they service are relatively disadvantaged to begin with and do not have the resources to buy their own PCs, not to mention purchase the latest software for optimum Internet usage. The use of blocking software is likely to deprive already disadvantaged children, teenagers and adults of accessing information that under the US constitution they have a right to access. To what extent will a piece of software be able to distinguish the reference to an image of the naked breast of a woman simulating masturbation and the reference to an image of a woman demonstrating how to locate breast cancer? Are filtering tools really that clever? Meanwhile schools who can afford to buy their own technology and pay for their own Internet access have the choice of whether they want to use filters or not. Paradoxically, these are the schools whose pupils belong to communities with a high percentage of household PC ownership in the US. If we want to live in the information age, and if we want our kids to benefit from a society where information is freely accessible, we will have to start thinking about educating our children (as well as their parents) on how to deal with opinions, peoples, cultures, attitudes, politics, religions and philosophies that are different and possibly offensive to our own. We will have to allow people time to learn how to manage information and that means allowing them make personal choices based on their own needs. A culture of denial will do little to foster understanding or tolerance in a global economy nor will it stop people creating and consuming "harmful" material.

A culture of denial will do little to foster understanding or tolerance in a global economy, nor will it stop people creating and consuming "harmful" material. If parents are relying on filtering and blocking software to keep their kids from seeking out information that is potentially harmful to them, then fundamental parenting questions need to be addressed. I'm not saying that a parent whose kid is addicted to hardcore pornography is a bad parent. I'm saying that rather than putting blinkers on, the parent/teacher might be better off asking why the child is attracted to this kind of material and subsequently take the time to explain to the child/teenager the social consequences of downloading such "unsavoury" material.

Javascript Security Gap Afflicts Netscape According to Usenet posts, a Sunnyvale consultant has created a 30-line Javascript program that retrieves the content of the victim's cache. This could include sites visited and data exchanged, though probably not encrypted credit card numbers. All versions of Netscape's browser up through the latest 4.5 release are vulnerable to the hack, though Microsoft's IE is not. The script also works when read into Netscape's E-mail client. In a related article, the October Scientific American has a special section on computer security. It includes brief articles on firewalls, digital certificates, Internet cryptography, and the Java sandbox. The Java article also describes the circumstance under which a Java applet can run outside the sandbox based on a "trusted source" model like ActiveX. from ronks@well.com
