I had never heard of a filter (at the government or ISP level) until now. Regardless of how Americans tend to treat the subject, they have in the past valued freedom of information on the matter.

It's been tried at the congressional level (COPA, and probably a few others that didn't make it very far). COPA was found to be unconstitutional.

Thanks, I did not know about that one. I suppose it says something about US precedent that it was ruled unconstitutional, and also says something (quite different) about our representatives in Congress.
