Judge Tanya Walton Pratt said in an order Friday that the state has a strong interest in protecting children and the rest of the Internet remains open to those who have been convicted.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the class-action suit on behalf of a man who served three years for child exploitation, along with other sex offenders who are restricted by the ban even though they are no longer on probation.
Federal judges have barred similar laws in Nebraska and Louisiana.
ACLU legal director Ken Falk says he's disappointed by Pratt's ruling and is considering an appeal.

Sounds to me more like the government is stepping in to do the job PARENTS aren't doing.


How is this any different than any of the other laws complained about when personal rights (or parental rights) are taken into the government's hands?
