20 As required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), Elizabethtown has in place technology protection measures designed to block Internet material deemed to be obscene or harmful, both on and off campus. These measures are smart and dynamic but not foolproof. The following categories of websites will be blocked: Pornography, Drugs, Gambling, Other Adult Content, Social Media, Anonymous Proxys, Chat/Messaging, Web Mail, Hate Speech, Streaming Media, and Games. Staff, students or parents should report any inappropriate content to the Technology Department if content is mis-categorized and bypasses the filtering systems. Staff or students should have no expectations of privacy when using Elizabethtown's equipment or resources, either on or off campus.
