Someone writes \”I would like to suggest a link to a 40-page article on Internet filtering from the April 2000 issue of the Texas Law Review:
\”The First Amendment\’s Limitations on the Use of Internet Filtering in
Public and School Libraries: What Content Can Librarians Exclude?\”
The article concludes that the First Amendment permits filters to be used
by a library if the supervising librarian would have the same degree of
control over the filter that it would have over a library employee with
respect to correcting improper content selection decisions to prevent
unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination

The article concludes that the First Amendment permits filters to be used
by a library if the supervising librarian would have the same degree of
control over the filter that it would have over a library employee with
respect to correcting improper content selection decisions to prevent
unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. Furthermore, it finds that the
Amendment permits a library to filter out those categories of content it
would have the discretion to reject if someone offered to donate such
content to the library in hard copy form together with funds to cover the
costs of storing it.
