  • “On Tuesday, January 6, CDT and the ACLU begin presenting evidence in federal court in Philadelphia in their challenge to a Pennsylvania law that has resulted in the blocking of hundreds of thousands of legitimate websites. The hearing is expected to run for several days. Extensive briefs filed by both sides in December are available online.
