INTRODUCTION It has been twenty years since researches gave up the right to patent the World Wide Web and made the source code publicly available.1 Since entering the public domain, the web has revolutionized the way people get information.

Under the existing Minnesota statutory scheme, prosecutions occur for indirect and implicit false claims of political support. Despite recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, Minne- sota state courts continually uphold the constitution- ality of Minnesota’s statutory bans on false political speech. The question presented is: Whether a state statute banning false politi- cal speech is narrowly tailored to meet a compelling state interest when such ban co- vers both implicit and indirect claims of po- litical support. ii
