A Pennsylvania law requiring convicted sex offenders to reveal their Internet aliases does not violate the First Amendment, according to an en banc panel of Pennsylvania’s intermediate-level Commonwealth Court.

He alleged the reporting requirement was overbroad because it was intended to protect minors, but his crime did not involve a minor or the Internet.
