Internet filtering

[Tim]

A court case in America is attempting to conclude whether a Library should be allowed to refuse to disable internet filtering software. One question the case has raised is "Is the Internet a collection unto itself or can a collection development policy be applied to it, thus blocking constitutionally protected speech?" Currently US libraries are required to unblock sites on the request of an adult, US vs. ALA 2003, which the library in question has not done. The case itself seems to be a bit dodgy as you read further into the article, but it does bring up some interesting points.
