CDT-coordinated group releases White Paper on user empowerment tools
In a meeting with public interest advocates and industry representatives today, President Clinton and Vice President Gore said that user control, as opposed to CDA-style content regulations, is the best way to help parents prevent their kids from accessing inappropriate material on the Internet. The President also announced a continuing effort to educate
the public about the availability of user empowerment technology.
In conjunction with the White House event, CDT and an ad hoc group of
