Web filters in the limelight

The Orange County Register has an interesting Story on filtering. The story is interesting due to the lack of librarian quotes. Supervisor Todd Spitzer wants to let parents know about Orange County\’s program, \”Cyber Safely – Filter Out the Filth,\” so he is holding a news conferencetoday to trumpet it. Spitzer said the county is committed to defending the filtering policy in court, should anyone fight it by arguing First Amendment rights.


But, said Adams, \”We have had literally zero complaints.\’\’


Scheduled speakers at the news conference include Adams, Sheriff Mike Carona, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and Shirley Goins, a representative of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.


So where are the librarians in all of this?
