3. CIPA
The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law
enacted by Congress to address concerns about access to offensive
content over the Internet on school and library computers. CIPA
imposes certain types of requirements on any school or library that
receives funding for Internet access or internal connections from
the E-rate program – a program that makes certain communications
technology more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. In
early 2001, the FCC issued rules implementing CIPA.
