Hello all,
There has been a discussion on mine and a few other's twitters that got me
wanting a bit more clarification on this.
In the manual it states that adult content is anything sexually explissit or
that insites hate. Now the sexually explissit part is quite easy to
understand, but the second part seems much less clear. It says if we're not
sure to just leave it marked as adult, but I've been told so many different
things over the years it's hard to really tell anymore. I know this is
comparing 2 vastly different programs, but I'll give you the example that when
I was fifteen my parents thought I was reading racey material so put an adult
blocker on my account with nls.
A year later I called them requesting the bible, but because the bible had
violence and strong language I was not allowed to take it out on lone until I
was eighteen. I also worked at a library where they always would do a check on
a book for anyone under eighteen before letting them take the book out
including myself and I don't know what guidelines they used.
So as for the hate thing does it become if there are race riotts in the book?
Is it if there is one religion that hates another? Are all books with nazis
out? I mean I know this can't be the case for educational purposes, but is the
line drawn at talking about what hate speech and activities are or if they
happen in the content of the book?
