On March 9, 2000, Attorney General Janet Reno announced the release of "The Electronic Frontier: the Challenge of Unlawful Conduct Involving the Use of the Internet."
In August 1999, President Clinton established an interagency Working Group on Unlawful Conduct on the Internet. Executive Order 13,133 directed the Working Group, under the leadership of the Attorney General, to prepare a report with recommendations on:
--The extent to which existing federal laws provide a sufficient basis for effective investigation and prosecution of unlawful conduct that involves the use of the Internet;
--The extent to which new technology tools, capabilities, or legal authorities may be required for effective investigation and prosecution of unlawful conduct that involves the use of the Internet; and
--The potential for new or existing tools and capabilities to educate and empower parents, teachers, and others to prevent or to minimize the risks from unlawful conduct that involves the use of the Internet.
