Government involvement in the Internet is exactly what we DONT need. Although the government is the force that ultimately invented it, think of the consequences of regulation. For example: this is exactly what agencies like the CIA, FBI want because they can secretly do whatever the hell they want to behind the closed doors of the Fed. Secret programs that are so popular to them would probably be more likely to be unnoticed because segments of the internet would be put out of the hands of the private sector.
The Internet has come to be an incredible way to share ideas and promote innovation. Why would you openly let the government come in and force its agenda on something that is great because of its unwavering openness?
