I have a better idea. How about only allowing minors to use the computers when under adult supervision? That'll cut down on the porn-o-rama right quick.

These filters have a way of being biased toward the Left end of the spectrum. Try looking up any pro-Second Amendment site via a system that has content filtering in place.

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.
