INTERNET USE AND SAFETY

It is Do Space’s mission to empower our community through technology access and education. To fulfill our mission, Do Space provides access to a broad range of information resources, including those available through the Internet. Use of the Internet at Do Space is a privilege not a right. We make the Internet service available as part of our mission to offer a broadly defined program of informational, educational, recreational and cultural enrichment opportunities for Do Space users.

The Internet is, in general, an unregulated medium of information and communication. Do Space does not monitor and has no control over the information provided through the Internet. Information on the Internet is not necessarily current, accurate or complete. While much valuable information is available on the Internet, some may be considered by our local community standards to be obscene, patently offensive or harmful, especially to minor children, as defined by applicable state and/or federal laws. Do Space must attempt to balance the desire for free unrestricted access to varying informational sources against the need to avoid material that may be harmful to minors or that violates community standards as defined by applicable state law and/or is obscene. For purposes of this policy, minors are defined to include all individuals under the age of 19 years.

Filtering by Do Space

Do Space has deemed that it is appropriate and necessary to install software that will limit exposure to some Internet materials. To the extent possible, the software will be used to block Internet sites that could be offensive. However, it must be noted that filtering software may not block all information that may be offensive or deemed obscene. In addition, filtering software may block content that is deemed appropriate. Users can submit a request to have sites unblocked, Do Space staff will review submitted requests and, to the extent practical, will unblock sites.

Internet Access by Minors: Regulations and Restrictions

Do Space provides computer access to minors, including filtered access to the Internet and software to support academic achievement. Do Space is complying with the requirements set forth by Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). To the extent practical, steps shall be taken to promote the safety and security of users of the Do Space computer network when using email, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of direct electronic communications.

Specifically, as required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act, prevention of inappropriate network usage includes: (a) unauthorized access and other unlawful activities; and (b) unauthorized disclosure, use and dissemination of personal identification information regarding minors.

Parental Responsibilities

Do Space strongly suggests parents supervise their minor children’s Internet sessions since filtering software may not be able to filter all information that may be harmful to minors. Some parents may deem that certain unfiltered materials are also unsuitable for their minor children. Do Space also encourages parents to discuss the use of the Internet with their minor children in relation to family values and boundaries. For more information on this topic parents and guardians are encouraged to visit SafeKids.com.

General Responsibilities of Users

Use of the Internet is a privilege not a right. Do Space expects users, to use the resources in a responsible manner. Responsible use of the Internet at Do Space includes, but is not limited to, the following:
