I assume with him getting his ass kicked out of town and the judgment against them in the 6th circuit that 2257 has been at least temporally sidelined, but of course we will never know until the govt makes the next move. While Obama is surely not going to make the FBI's top priority internet porn like it was with Bush/Gonzales no elected official is ever really a friend of porn.

Just because Obama is less likely to do the same kind of drastic things as the Bush admin, doesn't mean we are safe. The net is the wild wild west and the govt, regardless of whom is involved will want to control it and of course it will be done to protect the children or make us safe.
