Do libraries and schools use Internet filters on their computers?
A. Most libraries do not install Internet filters because doing so would infringe on the First Amendment rights of adults and young people to intellectual freedom the right to seek and receive information and knowledge without restriction. However, many schools install filters because they provide some protection against student access to materials that are obscene or unsuitable for young people.
