D#2,HW#5, Topic reflection

My initial interest in Internet filtering was sparked when I was asked to help revise the student computer user agreement at the school where I work. I did some basic research a few years ago, but the issue continues to evolve. My plan is to work in a library until I am ready to retire, and I know this issue will continue to generate controversy. One library I know of had to implement a filtering policy after a child was exposed to a patron viewing pornography and touching himself. There are very strong arguments on both sides of the issue. I am basically in favor of filtering, although I realize that it is not the whole solution to the problem. I am looking forward to researching it further.

Wow, that guy is disgusting. I agree with filtering in libraries where children are. Why would any one want their children exposed to what that one child already was?
