Go research what the FCC plans to do. They are going to drape the heavy blanket of regulation over everything related to the internet, down to what equipment your ISP can rent to you.

i'd like to see them try.
? The internet is quite centralized and a government takeover is very possible. Most governments of the world already heavily regulate the internet within their countries.
For a good example, the current situation at the Bird Forum with Cogent, in which a single tranny was able to convince an ISP to just blockout a site 100% on a whim and nobody who goes through them can access it at all.
Imagine if a government agent, with actual power, leaned on these spineless companies. We'd be blocked with no recourse in moments.
