Reply #33: It was about shutting down the internet [View All]

They pretty much have the MSM in their pocket so there is no real need to censor them.The few that weren't could easily be marginalized.

The internet,however,they could not control.The internet allows the citizens to exercise ALL of the rights in the first amendment.And that is exactly what we have done.To their detriment.

I bet they wish they had shut down the nets.I don't think they realized what a potent force it would become in bringing them down.They probably figured it was too important for commerce and that shutting it down would be too dispuptive for business and cut into profits.
That and the fact that it is fairly useful for spying on citizens.

Something else to think about-What ever happened to the Internet Version 2 idea that was floating around a few years ago ?
