That will not happen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_...Protection_Act
Quote:
On March 22, 2007, U.S. District Judge Lowell A. Reed, Jr. once again struck down the Child Online Protection Act,[7] finding the law facially in violation of the First and Fifth Amendments of the United States Constitution. In addition to the plaintiffs ACLU et al., several witnesses testified in defense of first amendment rights on the Internet, including the director of the Erotic Authors Association, Marilyn Jaye Lewis.[8] Reed issued an order permanently enjoining the government from enforcing COPA, commenting that "perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped away in the name of their protection."[9] The government again appealed, and the case was heard before the Third Circuit.[10]
On July 22, 2008, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the 2007 decision.[11][12]
On January 21, 2009, the United States Supreme Court refused to hear appeals of the lower court decision, effectively shutting down the law.[13][14]
