The Supreme Court ruled that the Communications Decency Act was unconstitutional because it attempted to protect children by suppressing speech that adults have a constitutional right to receive, which violated the First Amendment's right to freedom of speech. The Court held that the government may not regulate the content of speech on the Internet in the same way it regulates broadcasting or other media. The Court recognized that the Internet is a unique and evolving medium that deserves the highest protection under the First Amendment.
