South Carolina’s Mandatory Filtering Law

Brian Surratt writes \”The State Library of South Carolina has put the enforcement of the state\’s new filtering law on hold while it looks to the Attorney Generals office to clarify it. The law applies to public and school libraries (excluding those of \”higher learning.\”) The law itself fails to satisify local systems for being both too restrictive and too lax. It stipulates that 1 or 10% of computers should remain unfiltered, but all others must be filtered. The Richland County public library system prefers to keep more computers unfiltered, while the Lexington County system wants to filter all computers.
