A Story sent in by Jen Young says a new MO state law directed at protecting patrons under the age of 18 from sexually explicit material.
The new law requires schools and public libraries that provide access to the Internet to either \”use filtering software, purchase Internet service through a provider that provides filter services or otherwise restrict minors\’ access to the Internet by local rule.\”
We would be in violation of the law even if we allowed a parent and a child under the age of 18 to sit together at an unfiltered computer,\” Sandstedt explained. \”A parent telling us that their child can use an unfiltered computer is no different than a parent telling a waiter that it is all right to serve their minor child alcohol.\”
