From TechRepublic:
Millions of parents around the country rely on Web filtering software to shield their children from the nasty side of the Internet–porn, predators and other unseemly phenomena.

The case, which deals with the 1998 Child Online Protection Act, grabbed attention Thursday after the department subpoenaed Internet search companies, including Google and Yahoo, for millions of search records.
