Homer Township Public Library

• Filters don’t work and provide a false sense of security! Study after study has demonstrated that filters consistently block important information on science, health, political, and social issues and regularly allow objectionable material to get through.


• Filters are expensive. Paying for filters diverts scarce resources from limited technology budgets. Typical network installation is $10,000, plus about $3,000 per year. This is enough to buy 20 computers and pay for Internet access.


• Filters are inflexible. Filters don’t know if the person using the computer is 5, 21, or 65. This “one size fits all” approach treats adults, even senior citizens, like elementary school children. The user doesn’t even know what they are being prevented from accessing.

Please contact your State Senator immediately and urge him/her to oppose House Bill 1727.
