Let it be known that the browsing history of all patrons is public record published on the library website, linked with your library card and identification information.
Why shouldn’t there be one computer in a restricted section and let them sign and clock in to browse their porn there. Then the browsing history could be reviewed and if they browse kiddie porn the police can prosecute them. I am sick of the “rights” of one person impinging on many other people. Parents have a right to expect that their children won’t be exposed to second hand porn at the library. The librarians have a right not to be abused by having to see it as well. Why do we need to remove prayer monuments and statues with a religious theme however faint to avoid some atheist having to see them but the right to see pornography trumps the right not to see it! If a person showed those pictures to a child that would be a criminal act just like exposing him/herself in a public place. But somehow because the pornography is on a computer screen its protected. This judgement is absolutely flawed, and is yet another example of political correctness, overriding common sense and decency.
Absolutely not. My browsing history, like my reading history, should be private barring a court order to reveal it.
If an action doesn’t rise to the level of being criminal then there is no reason it should be subject to the scrutiny and judgement of others.
