Here's a new one from the New York Times. A recent Kaiser Family Foundation study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that Internet filters used in schools and libraries block many sites that students may need for school and personal research on important health-related information. While this probably comes as no surprise to members of this list, what's significant about this report is that it is the first such study to appear in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
