S.F. Public bans Net filters

The Great Bob Cox sent along This One from SF Gate on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors banning Internet filters on most public-access computers at the city\’s libraries.


They cited the usual arguments against filtering. The proposal allows library officials to decide the policy for computers primarily used by children under the age of 13.


Bayinsider has a Second Story as well.


\”I believe this clearly to be a free speech issue,\” said Supervisor Mark Leno, who sponsored the ban.
