[OPLINTECH] How do you handle Internet filtering

[shivelri@oplin.org]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for feed back as to whether your library has filtering for 
patron computers and if so what kinds of things do you filter. We 
currently porn, anomomizers/proxy, and social networking except 
Facebook. The reasoning for the social networks is reports of people 
looking at porn on most of the sites complained about by patrons. I'm 
sure the first two everyone can agree on but I am interested in feed 
back on social networks. Please lets keep it civil too. I block believe 
at least Myspace should be block because the amount of malicious scripts 
and flash animations, music feeds, etc. taking up alot of bandwidth. I 
would love to here some fact based reason to block or not.
