You’re the administrator of a cash-strapped school system and received a note saying you’ll finally be able to get the school connected to the Net–as soon as you have a plan to comply with CIPA(1). Or you’re out in Corporate America, and when the boss typo-ed a URL, she saw some very interesting pictures on her screen. Or you’re simply Joe Penguinhead at home, having had the talk with the spousal unit, and you’ve decided it’s time for Junior to have a computer of his very own. In short, you’re now stuck with committing censorship.
