If you see risks that involve harm to children with unregulated participation, then say so.

I think we have our wires crossed here. I see risks to kids from the internet. That has never been at issue. All that is at issue, IMO, is that you think there is some added value to those kids from federal regulation of internet use in libraries and I don't.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you would sketch out what kind of guidelines you would have the feds provide the locals and explain whether they would also provide funding and enforcement of the guidelines. Then maybe we would have some basis for determining if the feds would add value or not. It is not intuitively apparent to me how they would add value. Every instinct and experience I have says just the opposite. (We already have WWIII in the schools due to federal guidelines. This looks much like that to me.) If you see a value, please explain it to me.
