Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Internet Filters in Libraries
"In the latest test of Congress' ability to control online smut, the U.S. Supreme Court today will hear arguments over whether libraries should be required to filter out pornography on their Internet-connected computers," reports Reuters. Clyde Wayne Crews Jr., director of technology policy, argues that it should be up to parents, not the government, to protect children from sexually explicit Web sites in "Government Can't Protect Kids from Porn -- But Parents Can." "Another tool at parents' disposal is tracking software that lets them monitor everything a child does or has done on the Internet -- filtered or not," Crews writes. "Spying? Maybe. But it's up to the family."
