The report analyzes approximately 53 million lines of actual use data obtained from the Utah Education Network under GRAMA, Utahs state freedom of information act. Using a product called Smartfilter, UEN maintains eleven proxy servers which provide statewide censored internet access to all of Utahs public schools and some of its public libraries. Michael Sims, project manager for this report, stated that, while the issue of internet access in schools and libraries continues to be a topic of great controversy in schools and libraries, and in Congress, there has been a singular lack of hard data which shows how the internet actually is being used in public institutions. That lack of data has allowed some to create or exaggerate the supposed problems, and it is our hope that this report, plus the underlying data files, will help to shed light on the truth. The data shows that less than 0.4% of all access attempts were banned by Smartfilter, rightfully or wrongfully. The percentage drops when school is in session, increases when school is out, indicating that attempted accesses to sexually explicit or other inappropriate sites (as categorized by Smartfilter) are less likely to be made by students than by others. The report also demonstrates that Smartfilter, like all other censorware products, bans access to a great number of socially useful sites. Users in Utah were banned by Smartfilter from, among many others, internet homes for: The Declaration of Independence; The United States Constitution; The Bible; The Koran; All of Shakespeares plays; and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
