The Danger of Government Control of the Internet

When it comes down to it, almost every person in the world is connected to the internet in some way, shape, or form. The internet is the marvel of what democracy can do for the world. It shows that, no matter who you are or where you live, you can talk to people from thousands of miles away.

When people propose the idea of government control over the internet, it should startle you. If you didn't already know, the Free Market and Democracy has done WONDERS to products, people, news, and the way we all live our life. And now, we see what it has done on the internet. Fantastic websites that bring in billions of dollars yearly, videos showing the freedom of speech, and many other things were brought out by Democratic Internet.

With government control... we wouldn't have any of those. With government control, where is the drive to produce something that can be taken off at a moment's notice?

When someone presents the idea of government control over the internet, nip the idea in the bud. More government control would ruin us.

Sorry if this was a ramble. ;)
