The essay, What Limits Should Campus Networks Place on Pornography? by Robert O'Neil was about what limits should Cal Poly institution put on their network.
I think that if view porn on the campus networks causes physical problems to the computers then it should definitely be blocked. If it does not cause any physical problems problems for the computers then I do not think that it should be blocked. It is everyones own responsibility to make sure what they view is appropriate if it were to get into the wrong hands. In this case pron popped up on a teachers screen right before a large presentation. I do not think that this should cause any problems for the students because it is probably nothing they have not seen before. I think this case is blown up to be something more than what it is.
Unless viewing porn causes computers to be infected with viruses then I do not see why it would need to be blocked. Perhaps it should be blocked on the teachers computers. That would eliminate any problems that teachers could encounter before giving a presentation, but other than that I do not see why it is something that needs to be blocked or limited by the school.

Good point, there's no need to block anything unless it's actually causing a problem like viruses, I didn't really consider this at the time I was writing my response. But i definately agree that otherwise it should not be blocked as it is a personal choice. This article kind of sucked.
I agree with this totally. Yes, porn should be blocked if it is causing problems to the networks but if it is not the screw it, let whom ever wants to look at it and get their jollys, by all means im not going to stop them.
