New report on censorware

From “LisNews” for 5/17/06:

"…The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) , requires censorware in most schools and libraries for adults and minors alike. A new report from the Free Expression Policy Project <http://www.fepproject.org/>  at the Brennan Center for Justice explains the effects of CIPA and then analyzes nearly 100 tests and studies that demonstrate how filters operate as censorship tools. "Internet Filters: A Public Policy Report" concludes: Although some may say that the debate is over and that filters are now a fact of life, it is never too late to rethink bad policy choices.

(Thanks to Nancy Walton at the Minnesota Department of Education for this.)

Have a wonderful, filter-free weekend.
