Who Looks At Porn In Libraries

from the who-are-these-people? dept

The San Jose Mercury News has an odd, but somewhat amusing, column about trying to figure out who actually goes to the library to look at pornography - since there's such a stink about libraries being forced to provide porn filters. It is a good point. Of course, one method of keeping people from viewing porn at libraries might be to make sure that the screens are clearly viewable by lots of other library patrons (though, I guess that might just make some people even more likely to view porn at the library...)

    I installed driftnet (found via sweetcode.org) on an unused iMac/YellowDogLinux at work, and put it in a highly visible place in the office. driftnet displays all the images traveling over the the network (http only, I believe). It does say who is looking at which images, but because everyone knows that all images will appear on it, no one browses web sites they arn't susposed to in the office, and I didn't need to install monitoring tools or proxies or anything. My office is kind of small, 20 people, so YMMV.
