Controversial Internet content increases the desirability to limit minors’ access to potentially harmful media material. Such efforts result in both technological restrains, such as Internet content filters, and statutory limitations of Internet content. For the most part, courts do not allow either technological or statutory limitations on speech but allow such limitations on electronic commerce.
Both technological and legal options exist to keep underage Internet users from accessing potentially harmful content and engaging in prohibited Internet activities. Numerous software programs are available which identify and limit access to Internet content and transactions. The focus of this software is to prevent children from accessing online pornography, filter offensive language and allow parental control as well as to prevent minors from buying liquor, drugs and cigarettes from Internet sources.
