Library Waits to Install Net Filters

John Fleming writes…
\”Library patrons won\’t have their Internet use filtered anytime soon, but the U.S. Supreme Court might have a say in that policy. The Leon County Commission on Tuesday unanimously decided not to automatically filter the pages that library users try to access, choosing to trust users not to view inappropriate material in a public setting.
The commission decided to wait and see what the U.S. Supreme Court says about a 1998 federal law called the Child Online Protection Act, which would make it illegal to make obscene materials available to people under 17. A challenge of the law is set to go before the high court later this year.\” [more…] from The Tallahassee Democrat.
