What do "porn" filters filter? I asked blogger and former Greensboro resident, now living in Charlotte, Matt Comer to test the filters at a Charlotte-Mecklenberg library. He reports that the library's filters blocked access to:
No matter what you may think of the subject matter, click on any of the links above and you'll see they are not obscene. Nor are they porn by any stretch of the imagination, yet, intentional or not, these are among the types of information that will get blocked by the efforts of those who want to software-block "porn" in Greensboro libraries.
