[..] How the blocks will affect law enforcement across North America would depend on which ISP their departments are using, among other factors. But Morris pointed out that WorldCom was ordered by a judge to comply with the Pennsylvania law last September. WorldCom owns UUNet, and the U.S. government is one of UUNet's biggest customers.
