This implies imposing of one person's value system on others by preventing access to alternative views. Filtering isn't censorship since the librarian who sets up the software for various key words would not know exactly what is being blocked at any given time. Pushing the simple decision of whether or not to use filtering software into a polticized, polarized world of black and white has given alot of air time to the extremists of both sides, but hasn't solved many problems. The prime issue should be improving funds for public libraries so that they can keep their doors open, their desks staffed, their bookshelves filled and their computers up to date.
School libraries die while public libraries remain poor.
Well, you're correct, I do equate the two. As does everybody else. The more I think about it, the more interested I get. But this definition is laughable. Catholic Church burning authors - not censorship, because people still wrote heretical works.
