Schools and libraries nationwide are routinely filtering internet content
far more than what the Children’s Internet Protection Act requires,
according to “Fencing Out Knowledge: Impacts of the Children’s Internet
Protection Act 10 Years Later,” a report released today by the ALA Office
for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and the ALA Office for
Intellectual Freedom (OIF). Please share the release and report with your
colleagues.
