Censorismship
To the dear librarian:
Please, don't worry, the 'shushing collective' commentary is not meant in any derogatory manner, it is meant far more as a nod to all the horrible stereotypes that exist in the collective concious. The form is quite common on this site, and if anything is designed to point out that librarians just aren't like that.
Censorship is Censorship. It is without a doubt going to run roughshod over knowledge of any sort. And I'm quite willing to bet long odds that there are council types over there that are trying to get even more strict filters applied to the library firewalls/filtering tools as fast as they can, given that idiots in power will apply their personal agendas left right and centre.
Given the size of the task at hand, and the point from Lost-all-faith, it will be near on impossible to have functional filtering rules without hitting some botherer or other's buttons. Over here the libraries have filtering rules and there is a reasonably anonymous method of requesting that the filter be lifted, (tain't perfect, but the old slip 'o paper in a box works as needed) as well as an automated method of submitting the request from the blocker splash itself.
Suggesting that OMG there are BOOKS around, go read 'em is relevant, yes, but the issue with those dead trees is that it takes TIME to get from the thought bubble to the printed page, and the interwebz has given us the ability to shorten that time. Thus information on line may well be somewhat more current and relevant than the stuff in the dead trees.
(Mind you it has yet to be seen if the shortening of publication cycle is necessarily an improvement, since it seems the first victim has been spelling, and the second victim was likely logical thought.)
