Do these politicians really not understand the awful implications of these filtering systems for free speech and fair use?

I was doing a web development gig in a southern US state back in 1998, and the manager was completely of the mindset that you had to ask permission to link somewhere. For some people who don't get it, this is their natural mindset.

For other people, the whole point is to work against free speech and fair use, in order to control the public.
