Filtering
March 25th, 2002Will public libraries be forced to filter the Internet? Today the federal court trial begins. The plaintiffs, including the American Library Association and the Multnomah County Library in Portland, contend that the filtering measures in CIPA and NCIPA will force libraries to act as censors. If the law stands, filtering will restrict free speech and punish the poorest of the poor. The case should last about a week.
