Federal funding for internet connections at schools and libraries specifically requires content filtering. They can get away with it because it's for children.

Federal funding for internet connections at schools and libraries specifically requires content filtering. They can get away with it because it's for children. I would not be surprised if you see something similar to what was tried in the UK - block pornography by default and require an embarrasing support phone call to lift the block.

On top of that there have been more than a few stories of over zealous school systems who have demands of computers used to access online content. So one would expect that a similar entry point would be uses to restrict content if not sites. The real threat is tracking that will exist but "wink wink" protected under the rule of requiring a court order to reveal; or if your in the political arena just someone who doesn't like you and leaks it. At least with a private provider there is a remote possibility of suing them or using the government against them. Against the government there are just too many barriers and would require very robust legislation to protect us.
