Can Existing Technology Protection Measures Meet The Requirements Of The Childrens Internet Protection Act?
The answer is a resounding yes. The Childrens Internet Protection Act requires that a school or library select a technology protection measure, which they choose, not the government through a public hearing and the creation of an Internet safety policy. The local board determines what to block based upon Federal and state laws as well as local community standards. This law encourages public education and empowers consumers and local authorities to work together to create a solution that is right for everyone. Schools and libraries have the affirmative duty to protect minors while in their custody. Using technology protection measures shows that educators are taking reasonable steps to protect their kids.
