Bill would ban kids from Facebook, MySpace in libraries
From USA Today:
Congress is considering a bill that would bar children who use computers in public libraries from accessing Facebook and other social networking websites without parental permission.Rep. Mark Steven Kirk, the Illinois Republican who sponsored the measure, says the proposal would keep sexual predators from contacting minors who are using a library computer.
But the American Library Association says Kirk's bill is yet another attempt by the federal government to interfere with library users' privacy and free speech.
