Yeah I saw. He's asking because of some "80 year old man".

It's not me. I guess all I can do is sit far away from grandpa and his addiction.

They filter all manner of things. They won't let me access the dating portion of the craigslist menu. I'd just like to find a girlfriend, though all my posts seem to reap are a bunch of come ons from prostitutes.

You are looking for a girlfriend on Craigslist? Yeah, that's not the way to go.

Not any more. I've given up.


I did get an authentic date through CL, once. But she didn't care for me, unfortunately.

Not that I think CL dating is a good idea (I don't), but I'm not blowing smoke. As long as you are over 17, you can turn off the filter if you want.

In addition, any user who is 17 years of age or older may disable the filtering software in order to obtain unfiltered Internet access for bona fide research or other lawful purpose by following the instructions provided on the computer screen or such instructions as the Library shall otherwise provide from time to time.

That means not child porn. Which is what the filters are mostly for, that and protecting minors. It's lawful to date on CL or surf porn.

Sounds like a lot of trouble.


I don't want to look at pornos. It'd be nice to find a nice woman to just talk to.

Of course it's legal. You are legally allowed to watch whatever you want.

However, most libraries tend to have filters, which block porn.

I remember there used to be a guy at the Midtown Manhattan who used to bring a kind of three-sided cardboard box, fitted meticulously to the computer screen as a shield, and I assumed he was watching porn.

Now that I think of it, it may not be "legal" to ask someone to leave, unless they're being blatantly offensive in some way.
