San Jose, California- A city council in Silicon Valley has voted against installing pornography filters on computers at the city’s libraries.

Instead, the Mercury News reports, the San Jose City Council approved an alternative that would remind computer users of existing policies to be courteous to others.

The alternate plan said the city should spend more for expanded library hours, school crossing guards and sex-crime detectives.

Installing filters in children’s areas would cost an estimated $90,000, and $5,000 a year to maintain.

The measure’s sponsor compared filtering to “fighting a global naval strategy by deploying all our ships to Lake Tahoe.”
