Summary:

The Media Marketing Accountability Act of 2001, S. 792 and H.R. 2246 , 107th Congress, would "prohibit the targeted marketing to minors of adult-rated media." This report considers whether it would violate the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech. (1) 1.  We analyze only Title I of the bill, as Title II would merely direct the FTC to conduct a study and to submit reports to Congress and to the public.
