U.S. v. American Library Association Follow Up Questions:
  1. Do you think filters are the best way to restrict minors from viewing material such as obscenity? What other solutions can you come up with?
  2. 2) Can you think of ways in which the CIPA ruling could be used by the Government in non-computer matters in public libraries? Describe.
  3. 3) Do you think CIPA will have a "chilling" effect on some library patrons? That is, will some patrons not request the filters be turned off because of potential embarrassment?

(If your teacher has asked you to type responses to these questions, typing space and a print key are located below.)
