Living is a fairly large city where the Library Administrators had refused to install filtering, with the reasoning that no child should be allowed to use Library computers on the internet without parental supervision. They have had a policy in effect for years now, refusing unsupervised use of the internet by minors, requiring them to be accompanied by and under the direct supervision of a parent.
Another reason was that less than 10% of the use of library computers was by minors, and the remainder by adult users, who do not require filtering. I suppose this ruling will mandate that they install the filtering, even though they do not work as expected. Porn Site operators are very busy detecting and circumventing any filtering system in existence. You can tell this just by the spam you receive. This also does nothing about the access from home, or the porn sites actually owned and operated by minors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harkins,Patrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 8:59 AM Subject: RE: Porn in the Library | I'm in favor of the porn filters in the library as well.
