Should public #libraries be defunded if they operate in an exclusive way?
For example, suppose a #library offers Wi-Fi exclusively to demographics of people who carry a mobile phone by forcing an SMS-verified captive portal, and they have no day pass or alternative way for people without phones to access Wi-Fi. Yet they receive public money despite the exclusion. Should the be defunded?

[ ] yes, public money should only fund inclusive svcs
[ ] no, it’s okay for public svcs to exclude some ppl
When you say “we are at 2”, you make it sound like the royal “we” as a society. So it’s not the right language for what you were trying to express. The correct pronoun would be “they”. Some libraries are inclusive and some are not. The exclusive ones are at #2.
BTW- this necropost is due to Beehaw being unreachable for 4 months. I finally got back in today to see your msg.
