San Jose Council Discusses Filters for Libraries
One of the articles that caught my attention this week is Council Discusses Filters for Library in the Spartan Daily. The article states that Mayor Chuck Reed alongside with city council members talked about council member Pete Constant's proposal about restricting public access to pornography in the public libraries in San Jose by using a filter.
With the new technology today they believe that the filters will be a way to stop this act amongst the public. There is no decision made by the council however they will remain analyzing the different types of filters.
The council will work closely with the library director and city attorney and hopefully come up with a conclusion by early 2008.
However, parents and students are not too fond about the idea. A parent reports to be a former librarian and never encountered anyone viewing pornography through the public utilities in the library. According to the parents they believe that if the rules was never broken why bother to fix the problem. A student states that creating a filter for the computers should not be as important as many other issues in the San Jose community. The council members should focus on other issues.
