ZDNET: “San Francisco officials have voted to ban Internet filters on computers in local public libraries, risking the loss
of some $20,000 in federal funds.

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors on Monday unanimously prohibited Internet filters on city-owned computers
used by the public for Web access. But an amendment to the legislation excludes Internet terminals designated
exclusively for individuals under the age of 13.”
