Comment Inappropriate? (Score 1) 506

About four-tenths of a percent of websurfing is inappropriate for libraries, is our best guess.

Excuse me? What?!?!

Define, please, "inappropriate for libraries". I suspect your definition might differ from that of most librarians. (Either that, or you mean "inappropriate for public viewing")

You might want to check out the American Library Association's site, especially their Library Bill of Rights . (There's a section of the site specifically about 'cyberspace'.)

Essentially, the entire site says "Parents -- your kids are your responsibility, and that's where your power to censor should stop." Their stance is that there is no such animal as something which is "inappropriate for libraries." It might be inappropriate for some libraries...those in seminaries, for example.

(Of course, they also advocate privacy barriers so that what one person is viewing doesn't offend anyone else.)
