Library Filtering Law overturned. -the thing missing from this story, of course, is that filters don’t work and block quite a bit of legitimate information from being available to library patrons. Let’s hope the Supreme Court agrees with this ruling. Look, someone who gets it on airport security! I was beginning to think that no…
