Valley library to filter for children
Children's computers in Santa Clara County libraries will filter Net access within three months, the area's library board decides.
Children's computers in libraries in the heart of Silicon Valley will filter Net access within three months, the region's library board has decided, and patrons will be greeted with a warning of what they might encounter online.
Six months after Santa Clara County Library voted unanimously to offer unfettered Internet access, the same board last night decided to shift that position by adding filters to computers in the children's sections of its libraries.
However, the board decided against a recommendation it had been considering to add filters on computers in the adult area.
Several library filtering policies around the country have been challenged by civil liberties groups, including one involving the Loudoun County Library system in Virginia, where all Net terminals contain blocking software.
