    The best answer is, C. the act attempted to protect children by suppressing speech that adults have the constitutional right to receive.

    The United States Supreme Court ruled against the Communications Decency Act because it too broadly and vaguely identified the types of materials that would be censored on the internet, because of this general label the act was considered a violation of the First Amendment covering the free speech rights of adults.
