Children's Internet Protection Act

The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a U.S. law designed to protect children from harmful online content. It requires schools and libraries that receive federal funding to implement safety measures, such as filtering software, to block access to inappropriate websites. CIPA aims to promote safe internet use among minors while ensuring that educational institutions provide access to valuable online resources. However, it also acknowledges the importance of filtering being age-appropriate and emphasizes the role of parents and guardians in guiding their children's internet activity.
