Prime Choice: adult supervision of children is fine but not the only issue. The fact is that many adults use the porn to harass other patrons and the staff. One library settled a sexual harassment law suit for over $600K caused by the use of unfiltered computers. Read our site to learn more about this. And as far as any bias by content filters, the US v. ALA US Supreme Court case allows the filters to be disabled by adults just to prevent such problems. There is no censorship where you just have to ask to disable the filters.

It's not? Every time I see the library-porn flag raised, it's invariably "for the children."

The fact is that many adults use the porn to harass other patrons and the staff.

Fine. Ban the creeps, then. Causing a public nuisance is not protected speech.

One library settled a sexual harassment law suit for over $600K caused by the use of unfiltered computers.

So? The library shouldn't have been sued in the first place. It's about time people took responsibility for their own actions instead of shopping around for friendly judges and deep pockets.

I know plenty about it already, and I can't support the ridiculous notion that filters are going to do anything but cause more problems and raise expenses unnecessarily.

And as far as any bias by content filters, the US v. ALA US Supreme Court case allows the filters to be disabled by adults just to prevent such problems.

So it's okay in your view for the kiddies to be raised with the notion that their Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a BAD thing? Sorry, can't sign off on that.

There is no censorship where you just have to ask to disable the filters.

I never mentioned censorship. What I did mention is that these filters are inordinately Leftist in nature in terms of their pro-"safe sex", pro-abortion and anti-Second Amendment bias. I won't support that sort of rot being forced on anyone of any age.

You are talking about censorship. The adult supervision thing is the right way to go.
