Give or take religious arguments about whether you're really on the
internet if you're beind a NAT, I think everyone has connected their
internal netorks with various sorts of firewalls trying to keep out
the bad stuff. It's just too painful if people can't get access to the
external resources they're used to using.

If they really tried to block external access I expect people would
just use their phones to get to the stuff they want.
