Federal legislation requiring libraries and schools receiving federal funding to implement internet safety measures is called?

• A. Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
• B. CIPA
• C. Filtering software
• D. Intellectual property

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying a specific federal law that governs internet safety in libraries and schools receiving federal funds. The legislation is the Children’s Internet Protection Act, often abbreviated as CIPA. It requires these institutions to implement internet safety measures, including using technology protection measures (filters) to block or filter online content that is obscene, child pornography, or harmful to minors, and to adopt and enforce an Internet safety policy. It also asks for education about safe and responsible online behavior and the handling of digital information. So, the correct choice names the law itself—the Children’s Internet Protection Act. The other options point to a tool (filtering software) or an unrelated concept (intellectual property), rather than the statute that mandates the safety requirements.
