Despite Complaints, Seattle Public Libraries Say They Won't Censor

‎02-01-2012 09:05 PM

The blogosphere is abuzz with the story of a Seattle mom and her family's encounter with p***ography at a public library.

The woman says on a recent visit her to her neighborhood library, she saw a man watching hard–core p*rn on a computer. It was clearly visible to other people, including her kids. But even after she complained, she learned Seattle libraries have a policy of not interfering with what library patrons view on the Web, no matter how disturbing it may be to others.

I heard this story on the radio this morning. There were some callers who thought that the library should censor this activity. Others thought there should be no rules and anything goes.

In this case, I believe that this should be censored. I think that there should be some parameters about what is acceptable in a public arena, funded by public dollars.

What do you think?
