Public library filters

The public library has opposed the government filters, because it restricts free use of their internet accounts. Even though it may restrict the porn sites, it also restricts other sites that may mention porn, but they are not about porn. This can greatly inhibit the users’ research experience. I think that the library can control their own computers with windows filters, and monitor the research of the users. From the readings as I have said the government filters block other sites that the user may need to see. The First Amendment with that of free speech, allows the library to publicly display what ever content they feel is right to display, and allow patrons access to.
At this point, the library does not have filtering because they do not accept federal
$$$ and therefore do not have to comply with the federal mandate to filter
under their existing guidelines.
