Library Internet Porno

[Pangloss62]

Self-exposure is still against the law.

I don't think most people would argue with that, and fresh ejaculate on the floor or keyboard would be a form of littering, albeit one worthy of Onan.

The issue here is:

Does one have the "right" to look at pornography at a public library that provides access to the internets? It's a yes or no question.

The ALA has pretty much concurred that they are against censorship, so the porno watchers remain ubiquitous, at least in the many libraries I go to. I know one library in MA that put the monitors below a transparent desk surface to promote privacy, but I think there is something to be said for communal observation as a sort of control; some porno watchers will cease when they see other people grimace and whince at their chosen internet fare.
