It is amazing to me that the Chicago Public Library can continue to allow pornography on its computers by declaring that no good filtering device exists that would screen out pornography without screening out valuable content.
Four years ago, such a statement may indeed have been true. Today, it is not.
Many (if not a majority of) businesses have screening software on their computers that screen out pornography and other objectionable content while allowing unobjectionable content.
Why are our librarians and reporters so sadly uninformed about this issue?
Perhaps both groups would benefit from discussions with any of the thousands of businesses that today use such software. I’m sure the dozens of software producers that develop such products also would provide knowledge.
