I agree, but your wording is wrong. They provide default filtering, that you can optionally disable.

Still the wrong wording. ISPs can optionally provide filtering to their users, which is on by default and opt-out. Only the large ISPs have implemented the filtering, and only for new customers. Existing customers have no filtering.

Government rarely directly commands action. It's usually "pressure" in the form of mafia protection money.

"Maybe you implement this filter, maybe we don't break your fuckin' kneecaps."
