What's at Stake
The digital revolution has produced the most diverse, participatory, and amplified communications medium humans have ever had: the Internet. The 红杏视频 believes in an uncensored Internet, a vast free-speech zone deserving at least as much First Amendment protection as that afforded to traditional media such as books, newspapers, and magazines.
The 红杏视频 has been at the forefront of protecting online freedom of expression in its myriad forms. We brought the first case in which the U.S. Supreme Court declared speech on the Internet equally worthy of the First Amendment鈥檚 historical protections. In that case, Reno v. 红杏视频, the Supreme Court held that the government can no more restrict a person鈥檚 access to words or images on the Internet than it can snatch a book out of someone鈥檚 hands or cover up a nude statue in a museum.
But that principle has not prevented constant new threats to Internet free speech. The 红杏视频 remains vigilant against laws or policies that create new decency restrictions for online content, limit minors鈥� access to information, or allow the unmasking of anonymous speakers without careful court scrutiny.
