Libraries now installing privacy screens so sickos can view internet porn

The library should deny access to the porn. That's what my library does. There's not enough computers as is for people who have serious work to do.

Officials in San Francisco have reportedly installed plastic privacy screens at the city’s main library to block pornographic images from the eyes of other visitors.

KTVU.com reports that 18 privacy screens have been installed at the city’s main library branch at Civic Center Plaza in recent weeks as an alternative to filtering Internet access.

"We're always looking for any kind of elegant solution that strikes a balance between the right to privacy and folks that want to use the library for any other intended purpose," city librarian Luis Herrera told the website.

I can just about guarantee you that online porn is still accessible at your library.

It is impossible for nannybots to stop it all.

It would be better for the library to have a policy that anyone caught viewing online porn will be shame-walked out of the building and have their library card revoked.

How is it that the dummies get dumber? Library = Public place. Aren't there some established places that are private where people can look at porn in San Francisco? Whatever, it's their money. I'd be pissed.

That was my first thought too. Who's paying for this? The taxpayers.
