    The Interent is still the nearest thing we have to being truly 'free'. For the time being, anyhow.

    That scares governments, and in an ironic twist, the government that created the Internet seems the most scared. So, no. That freedom needs to be protected, especially from governments.

    Too funny to see everyone go all paranoid about the US government controlling the internet but us Americans are supposed to trust these same people with our guns and our healthcare.

    Go with your instincts, folks, we don't trust them and neither should you. :wink:

    Giving one man the power to shut down the internet is ridiculous as the internet is widely considered free, no nation owns it but the US is trying to stake a claim in it. If they pass this other countries could follow making the internet just an extension of nations.
