The local legislature is studying a project that will force every business offering WIFI access in Puerto Rico to install programs that will block "objectionable" material (whatever the hell that means).
Public hearings are being held on this subject and as one can imagine all the "let's suck up to the relgious right" politicians seem to favor it.
Luckily there's a federal ruling that prohibits this type of legislation. A state tried to do this on public school and the US Supreme COurt found it unconstitutional.
Still, this is another example of how our local goverment works. And how easily they are willing to play with out rights
