A U.S. National Firewall?

Via Bruce Schneier’s blog:

Government has the right — even the responsibility — to see that its laws and regulations are enforced. The Internet is no exception. When the Internet is being used on American soil, it should comply with American law. And if it doesn’t, then the government should be able to step in and filter the illegal sites and activities.

Yeah, because nationalism is better than a unified, global information network. People often say that the Internet erases boundaries – but apparently, the U.S. Government likes its boundaries very much, and wants to keep them.
