SAN FRANCISCO -- Internet filters designed to
keep pornography away from children were
banned at city libraries despite a federal law
mandating them.
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors voted
unanimously Monday to ban the filters from library
computers, a move that could cost the city $20,000
in federal funds. The board left it up to the Library
Commission to decide whether to install filtering
software in children's areas.
