Which of the following statements is true about the Information Infrastructure Act?

It allowed the use of the Web by education institutions such as universities.
It allotted certain governmental agencies with the power to pick-and-scan any document on the Web for security reasons.
It opened the Web for commercial purposes.
It permitted the controlled use of pornography over the Internet.

The correct answer is: It opened the Web for commercial purposes.

The statement about the Information Infrastructure Act being true is that it opened the Web for commercial purposes. This act, which was part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, aimed to promote access to the Internet and stimulate the growth of the commercial sector online. By facilitating the expansion of online business opportunities, the act helped to lay the groundwork for e-commerce and the digital marketplace we see today. Opening the Web for commercial purposes contributed significantly to the economic development of the Internet, allowing businesses to establish an online presence, sell products and services, and reach global markets. This legislative framework was critical in advancing the Internet from a primarily academic and research-based tool to a robust platform for commercial activity. The other options pertain to specific regulations or provisions that do not capture the main intent of the Information Infrastructure Act regarding the commercialization of the Internet.
