FYI
Schools and libraries nationwide are routinely filtering internet content far more than what the Children’s Internet Protection Act requires, according to “Fencing Out Knowledge: Impacts of the Children’s Internet Protection Act 10 Years Later,” a report released today by the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF). Please share the release and report with your contacts.
