To: gilc-plan@gilc.org Folks- We will post the official news soon but thought some of you may be pleased to know that we just received word that the judge in Loudoun granted our motion for summary judgment finding the library policy that requires the use of filters on all terminals is unconstitutional. Cassidy -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Courtney Macavinta November 23, 1998, 2:55 p.m. PT In a precedent-setting decision, a federal court in Virginia ruled today that it is unconstitutional for a public library to filter Net access for all patrons. Siding with civil liberties groups, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema struck down Loudoun County Public Library's policy to install X-Stop blocking software on every computer with a Net connection in an effort to bar access to sites deemed "harmful to minors." Brinkema said that "such a policy offends the guarantee of free speech in the First Amendment and is therefore unconstitutional." The closely-watched case was the first constitutional challenge to library Net filtering, an issue that has been debated throughout the country. .... Libraries have been pushed to the front lines of the online censorship battle since the Supreme Court last June struck down the Communications Decency Act, which made it a felony to provide "indecent" material to minors via the Net. full story http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,29179,00.html -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1998-11-24 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
