Supreme Court Looks At Porn In Libraries.

The US Supreme Court
is hearing oral arguments today (2003/03/05) concerning CIPA,
the Children\’s
Internet Protection Act, as to whether or not library patrons will
be allowed discretion as to what they view on Internet enabled library
computers. The bill forces the use of filtering
software on any public library that accepts federal money. The
filters are supposed to eliminate minor\’s exposure to full
frontal nudity and other obscene
content, unfortunately, filters
have severe failings. The ALA
was one of the forces that convinced a
three federal judge panel to overturn the law last year (2002/05/31).
