Supreme Court okays anti pornography filters in libraries
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that the government may require public libraries to install Internet filters on computers, allowing cutting off federal funds for noncompliant libraries. The ruling says patrons of all ages face exposure to inappropriate sites and notes libraries can disable filters for adults, though that is not required. The decision marks a major federal victory in shielding children from online smut while librarians warn of censorship and loss of access to legitimate information.
