Haredim Use Secular City’s Public Library Computers To Surf Porn Sites, Patron's Complain

Men from the adjoining haredi city of Bnei Brak use the public computers in the largely secular city of Ramat Gan’s public library to view web porn, MyNet reported.
Ramat Gan locals have reportedly complained about this but librarians can’t discriminate against customers by appearance or dress, and don’t really have any way to stop porn surfing from happening, unless they catch someone redhanded.
The Ramat Gan library has a filter that is supposed to block access to porn sites, but the haredi men who allegedly frequent the library to view porn are said to be adept at beating it.
The library believes haredi porn surfing at its public computers to be a relatively small and infrequent problem - although angered locals and even some Bnei Brak residents are not so sure.
