If anything we need bills to prevent media companies from controlling our national dialectics.

If this is only used to default user profiles into "Safe" modes and add additional tools for personal filtering then great. I'm betting on further malicious action by the government until people start taking responsibility and forcing our public officials to account for their actions.
