Surfing the net isn't a form of speech. Whether restrictions on using the net to communicate things that are speech are reasonable time place and manner restrictions on that speech depends. If a sexcual predator has been using the net to entice children to have sex, why wouldn;t it be a reasonable restriction to prohibitr him from using the net at all? And if the price of using it at all is survellience, why isn't that raesonable? Though how would it beenforced, since the pervert could use someone else's computer. jks
