Last week the London Public Library Board voted 5-4 in favour of continuing to filter most adult workstations.
Cory Doctorow nicely summed up the problem with filters in an article in the Guardian:
These systems are failures because they continue to allow the bad stuff through. They’re disasters because they block mountains of good stuff.
