False. The Communications Decency Act was written to regulate content that originated within the United States. The act aimed to restrict minors' access to harmful material on the internet, but it was criticized for being too broad and potentially violating the First Amendment right to free speech. The act was later amended by the 1996 Telecommunications Act.
