Yes, there *are* filters against injecting BGP from non-trusted sources. |

But if the government somehow controls a Network Service Provider |
| 15 |
(NSP, the maintainers of Internet backbones), they can easily poison |
| 16 |
the BGP updates. Routers connected to the NSP will happily accept the |
| 17 |
poisoned updates since they rely on the NSP to provide "big picture" |
| 18 |
traffic management. |
