There is no excuse for filtering the internet. Censorware can be easily manipulated to block anything the government doesn't want you to see, and it filters out too much without being altered after production.
There is no reason to ban a book unless it knowingly publishes classified information. I'm all for freedom of speech, but if some whacko decides to throw blueprints for a W-88 in his conspiracy book, he deserves jail time. On a similar note, I do not think that the government should have any right to view anyone's library borrowing habits without a public court-issued warrant and probable cause. I also believe that any such monitoring or acess to records should take place with the knowledge of the individual, unless there is probable cause to believe that this would compromise the investigation.
Anyone who thinks that speech is too free should restrict theirs with some duct tape.
