CHILDREN INTERNET PROTECTION ACT

The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a United States federal law enacted by Congress in 2000. Its primary aim is to address concerns about children’s access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet. The law requires schools and libraries that receive certain federal funds to install internet filtering software to block access to obscene or harmful content, as well as to implement internet safety policies and educate minors about appropriate online behavior.

CIPA has faced both praise and criticism since its inception. Proponents argue that it helps protect children from inappropriate content and ensures a safer online environment in educational institutions. However, critics argue that internet filtering can sometimes be overly broad, blocking legitimate educational content and impeding freedom of speech.

Despite the debates surrounding its effectiveness and implications, CIPA remains an important piece of legislation guiding internet safety efforts in schools and libraries in the United States.
