It's not like we're talking about free speech here as far as the library filter system goes. That's tax dollars. If you want to take it further, take a vote and see how many taxpayers want their money to allow the local library to become a pornfest. If you don't have access at home, I guess you'll just have to buy porn like in the old days. As far as filtering the internet in general by anyone, I say HANDS OFF. If you want to stop child pornography, and who wouldn't, shut down the source. Until something other than filters (which are horribly lame) come about you'll have to do it the old fashioned way; shut down sites, sanction governments that protect them, follow the money. Don't try to pass off a half-a** attempt that screws everyone in order to please a few and makes it look like you're the good guy.

| I agree that you shouldn't be looking at porn at the library. THe problem is that the filters at my school filters out free web hosts. There was even a problem with it blocking webpages that techers had hosted at places like angelfire. Also, the waybackwhenmachine is blocked because it's a "loophole". |

Then talk to the webmaster. If you need it to do school work I'm sure they could open the filter to them. |

I would if it was worth it. The computers at my school, are locked down so well that it's not even worth it. The context menus are disabled when veiwing folders. And I can never connect to my own ftp server. Veiwing the source of a web page isn't allowed either.
Usually when students are using a computer, there is a techer or other staff watching. I'd never get away with looking porn. |
