In certain cases of the use of the Internet, the need to limit the quantity of data loadable and/or the content to be seen by individual users is justifiable. The study deals with the technical, legal and ethical issues of such limitation in the general context of the right to unhindered access to the World Wide Web, and in two special environments: public libraries and schools. These institutions provide public access and may define some rules of 'proper use', if economic or ethical reasons make it necessary. Various practices of limiting the quantity of downloaded data, as well as methods of content filtering (for users under age) are presented, with the reservation, however, that despite all these attempts, the issue remains extremely problematic. The author presents a 'home-made' solution that is being developed at the Technical College of Budapest. The method is based on subsequent control of access log file data, but as the users in the computer rooms cannot be identified and named, no personal data are involved in the process.

There is a debate in the literature concerning psychological and social effects of the Internet usage. A question is raised if this medium helps developing social contacts and building social support networks (enhance building social capital), increases psychological well-being, or the contrary - destroys social networks, lowers social trust, and makes people less happy (Putnam, 1995; 2000; Wellman et al., 2001; Kraut et al., 2002).Analysis, presented in this article, are based on the data of the representative Polish sample, gathered in the 'Social Diagnosis 2003' project. Three groups were compared. Two of them were created upon the criterion of intensity and length of the Internet usage. The third group consisted of those who don't use this medium at all. Influence of socio-demographic variables (such as: age, sex, education, place of residence, income) were also controlled.Results show that those who use the Internet, comparing to those who do not, have more sense of happiness, more friends, and declare more sense of social support. Moreover, the longer period of the Internet usage, the higher level of declared sense of happiness and social capital.
