I am an ACM member and I am not American, and I was not asked if I agree with this. I feel this is an abuse of power by the ACM leadership and will speak against this internally. But, as I mentioned in another post, ACM allows it's members to use their Authorizer service to allow access to their own papers for free via their institutional or personal web-sites. This means that papers will be in-a-way openly accessible, but not via the ACM Digital Library - as a visitor you should try to go to the authors website and see if there is a free link to download the paper.
