[WEB4LIB] ALA Misrepresents Filtering Summit

Companies with products that address the Internet "filtering problem"
insist that there really is an Internet "filtering problem" that is not
exaggerated?  Imagine that.  

I would hope that it is redundant for me to be pointing out the enormous
financial conflict of interest such companies have when they criticize the
ALA's position.  In comparison, the ALA has at most an intangible conflict
of interest.

Does Filtering Facts really believe that people will take seriously
accusations of bias by people who stand to make millions of dollars selling
software and services, who have every reason to exaggerate the "problem."
