peacefire: open access for the net generation   (link)

http://www.peacefire.org/info/why.shtml
Peacefire was created to advocate for First Amendment rights of people under 18 on the Internet. Courts and politicians are generally hostile towards rights of minors (the U.S. is one of only five countries in the world that has the death penalty for people under 18), but courts have said that people under 18 do have First Amendment rights, though most judges believe that minors' rights are not as broad as those of adults.

Traditionally, teens' First Amendment rights have been defended mostly by sneaking around the rules, and our "How to disable your blocking software" page is just an extension of that. But since freedom to read and free speech rights for people under 18 are a part of social progress, they ought to be simply recognized by law, instead of the ridiculousness of telling a 16-year-old who holds two jobs and places first in their class, that they are not mature enough to use an Internet terminal at the local library, so they have to sneak off to a friend's house to check their email. At some point, most people will probably support the legal and moral rights of people under 18 to free speech and freedom to read, but that point is still a long way off, and until then, "guerilla" tactics like the blocking software disabling page will still be necessary.
