- A woman in Utah has been pushing for a bill to get public libraries to use filters. The article in the The Spectrum ("Southern Utah's Homepage") states quite matter-of-factly: "The bill will cut off state funds to libraries that refuse to put filters on their computers to filter Internet smut." Apparently the woman's hometown library in Cedar City already refuses to carry R-rated movies, so there is precedent for being restrictive about what a public library can make available. The article, interestingly, does not explain what the lawmakers view as an objectionable site, although it refers casually to "porn filters," ignoring the issue of what actually could get filtered. |

- Fang-Face writes "The forces of reactionism had another crack at the U.S. Supreme Court: The Bush administration's top Supreme Court lawyer sat at his home computer over the weekend and tried a little experiment he says illustrates the need for a law protecting children from online smut.

- Here's an Interesting Move made by Ask.com. They will will stop accepting advertiser payments for inclusion in its searchable Web database, a move to draw competitive lines between it and Yahoo's new search engine. After much testing of paid inclusion the company found that it can negatively sway search results—producing more commercial and irrelevant lists of Web sites, Lanzone said. Ultimately, that hampers the search experience, he said. |

- conservator writes "A report by USA Today of its recent poll of Americans' perceptions of the Patriot Act states, inter alia, that the ACLU's strategy regarding the Patriot Act ("besides targeting Ashroft") is based largely on "revisiting battles it lost when Congress authorized covert wiretaps in criminal cases in 1968, and when it created a secret court in 1978 to oversee domestic spy probes"; that the ACLU Web site "glosses over legal standards for subpoenas, warrants and wiretaps that were set decades ago and makes it seem that the Patriot Act created them"; and that when the ACLU says that FBI agents can spy on people "because they don't like" the books they read or the Web sites they visit, it ignores the fact that the Patriot Act includes language--on the books since 1978--barring the FBI from investigating U.S. citizens "solely" for First Amendment free-speech activities. |

- В четверг Басманный районный суд Москвы рассмотрит ходатайство Генеральной прокуратуры России об ограничении срока ознакомления с материалами уголовного дела главы МФО "Менатеп" Платона Лебедева, сообщает РИА “Новости”. Один из адвокатов обвиняемого Константин Ривкин подчеркнул: “Закон не ограничивает обвиняемых и их защитников в сроках при изучении материалов дела. Согласно закону, ограничить сроки ознакомления с материалами дела возможно только в том случае, если защита умышленно затягивает ознакомление”. Однако, считает адвокат, оснований для таких обвинений нет. |
