                     Judge: Library Filters Must Go
                     by Declan McCullagh 

                     Public libraries in a Virginia county may
                     not install filtering software, a federal
                     judge ruled Monday in a widely watched
                     case that has become the first to
                     determine how US libraries will control
                     Internet access. 

                     Loudoun County's decision to install
                     blocking programs "offends the guarantee
                     of free speech in the First Amendment,"
                     said District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who
                     ordered the library to yank the software
                     from its computers straightaway.
