As you may have seen, the judge ruled that Loudon County's filtering for
adults was unconstitutional. Here is a small clip from the document at
http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/16455.html?wnpg=3
A key witness for the county was David Burt, the
founder of filteringfacts.org and a public librarian
in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The judge found Burt's
written testimony not only unpersuasive, but
damaging to the case he was trying to make.
"Burt's own statements indicate that such
problems are practically nonexistent," Brinkema [the judge]
said, noting that when Burt emailed thousands of
librarians asking them for information about
sexual harassment complaints, it "did not yield a
single serious response."
