In Michigan there's a law called PA 212, which more or less requires that every Library have a "system" in place to prevent the viewing of "legally obscene" images on the internet.
Interesting... I do all the IT work for a city here in Texas and to my understanding (from one of the librarians) we are not allowed to filter any internet content. I am not exactly sure why but if anyone knows please enlighten me. If anything I will question the librarian about it again sometime.
There is no right that adults get to look at porn on tax payer expense.
I agree, I don't want my Tax dollars going towards porn surfers at the local library. There should be a policy (and mostly is) about looking at porn in a public library. What I was just trying to say was... Yes Adults do have the right to look at adult content in general, not in the library. I should be more clear about what I'm saying next time.
Yes I agree. While getting kids to stop looking at porn at the library is no problem. And Adults do have the right to look at porn. It's the people that just so happen to glance at the Patrons PC are the ones that have a problem with it. Which I can understand parents like to bring their kids to the library and they don't want to have their kid watching some 30 year old dude looking at pr0n wile mommy is checking out books.
Another good solution would be those 3M privacy screen covers so that people walking by would not get offended by whats on the other patrons machine.
ahhh what ever happened to the good old days of looking at porn in the library at the National Geographic book section.
Yes, This has been a problem with many libraries including the one I take care of.
We had to move the computer desks around so that the screens faced the front desk. There was a big problem with kids (even adults) looking at pron.
Look, if you are going to look at porn do it at home. No internet?

How do you make something like that public without the Chinese censoring it out?
The project name is "Psiphon". The only thing the commies have to do is just filter out "Psiphon" and voila! How exactly are you going to get this software to the people with a blindfold on their head?
Air drop thousands of USB flash drives?
