Blogs would be banned under the DOPA the way it is currently written. Many libraries are currently communicating with customers via blogs on their web sites. Does that mean that those libraries would have to ban their own site?

She has informed me that she can’t view blogs on her computer at school because they are blocked. I asked her what she is supposed to do if she wants to use a blog for professional purposes. She says she can’t go to one from school and she doesn’t have any way to override the block.

When will people learn that somebody’s misuse of a tool or toy does not automatically make that tool or toy evil.
