Well, the U.S. just cut off Library Genesis (gen.lib.rus.ec), the presumably-unauthorized archive of math/science ebooks. It works great from European proxies, but not from here.

(My point is that if they tell you you're getting unfiltered Internet in the U.S., they're lying.)

Actually the admins on the site are blocking U.S. users so not to draw attention to themselves like library.nu. I think they had mentioned it on their IRC awhile back.
