An important distinction is that the filtering that Sunstein is talking about is a what an individual or group does when they decide what to view. This is different than filtering software "censorware" that the state uses to control who gets access to what information, as used in the public schools and libraries. What Sunstein is talking about is adding to the process state mandated links and hyperlinks to sites with opposing viewpoints and the creation of a permanently viewable link to a PBS equivalent website (Public.Net). So presumably in order to reduce radicalism and group polarization which he considers a danger to democracy, a website run by such organizations such as the National Rifle Association will be required by law (If not done voluntarily) to add links to groups such as Handgun Control, Inc. Because in Sunstein's words 'FREE SPEECH IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE".
