CNN Article

In a CNN article here, http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/06/24/scotus.internetporn.library/index.html, they cover a decision by the Supreme Court to use computer filters in public libraries.

We don't want to keep people from getting information that they need. And we're not trying to regulate what people do in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, but this is something entirely different. This is open and public use of obscene materials. But somehow it's supposed to be okay because it's in the library. A place that until now, I have considered synonymous with learning and safety.
