Question:

Are you allowed to view porn on library computers?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Oh hell no, you can't view porn at the Library. In most states, theer are Public Acts in place preventing this from being legal.

In Michigan, PA 212 includes language which makes it illegal to view ANYTHING potentionally harmful to children. Nationally, the COPA laws exist in regards to requiring systems in place to prevent the viewing of legally obscene materials.

Just because you can poke through filters or firewalls doesn't make it right. If you're caught viewing porn in a library, you will find a kindly librarian asking you to leave, and should you ignore that kindly librarian, a big burly police officer will then slap cuffs on you and drag you out.

This actually varies from library to library, but essentially, it is AGAINST THE LAW.
