I don't understand. Is this a set of filters that parents can choose to use to block various parts of the internet from their children? Or is this a set of filters that the government is enforcing across the nation on the internet as a whole? I at first thought it was the latter, now it seems like the former.

yes and yes. they are isp-level tools and the person paying for the connection has control, but the government wants them on by default and is standardizing them.
