In Your Best Interests:
Libraries Restricting the Internet

The Boston Public Library restricts minors to using
"filtered" computers unless they have parental consent.

Is this protecting children from pornographic material
or is this "censorware" blocking free speech?

Boston Public Library President Bernard Margolis and
Cambridge Public Library head librarian Susan Flannery
debate the merits of filtering software.

Moderator: Dan Kennedy, senior writer at The Boston Phoenix

Ironically, debate about filtering is moot.
There are always ways for people to get around filters.
