• finding that the defenses provided by the CDA do not offer a safe harbor to Internet users, who are then faced with the choice between complying, despite economic and technological barriers, or refraining from the Internet posting that potentially subjects them to prosecution
• rejecting plaintiffs’ argument that CDA was vague because individual and nonprofit Internet content providers were less financially able to investigate varying community standards than their commercial counterparts
• “[I]t cannot be said that the [CDA’s defenses] eliminate any chilling effect that the [indecency] provision otherwise would have.”
