Uh, I think that might be taking things a little too far.  I really
think the only law involved -might- be contractual (IE, 'our contract
says they our connect is unfiltered' or some such).  You can sign
contracts that limit your speech (NDA's, for instance), so I don't
really see this as a First Amendment thing.
