147. The U.S. Children’s Online Protection Act and its predecessors also struggled with how
to protect kids from receiving information that could be harmful to them, such as
pornography, that adults have a right to see. The most restrictive approach has been to
ask providers of information online to assume that kids are receiving it unless each
person accessing can demonstrate possession of a valid credit card. See 47 U.S.C.
§ 231(c)(1) (2000). This approach was struck down as unconstitutional. ACLU v.
Ashcroft, 322 F.3d 240 (3d Cir. 2003), aff’d and remanded, 542 U.S. 656 (2004).
148. Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), Pub. L. No. 106-554, §§ 1701–1741, 114
Stat. 2763, 2763A-335 to 2763A-352 (2000) (codified as amended at 20 U.S.C. §
9134 and 47 U.S.C. § 254). While one federal court held that the CIPA is unconstitutional,
see Am. Library Ass’n, Inc. v. United States, 201 F. Supp. 2d 401 (E.D. Pa.
2002), the Supreme Court subsequently reversed that decision and affirmed the Act’s
constitutionality. United States v. Am. Library Ass’n, Inc., 539 U.S. 194 (2003).

153. See Margaret J. Radin, Property and Personhood, 34 STAN. L. REV. 957, 959–60 (1982)
(“Most people possess objects they feel are almost part of them. These objects are
closely bound up with personhood because of the way we constitute ourselves as continuing
personal entities in the world. They may be different as people are different, but
some common examples might be a wedding ring, a portrait, an heirloom, or a
house. ... The opposite of holding an object that has become part of one-self is holding
an object that is perfectly replaceable with other goods of equal market value. One
holds such an object for purely instrumental reasons.”).
