While there are certainly valid complaints regarding the internet in its current form, the positives - I think - outweigh the negatives. This is why ‘Net Neutrality’ is so important.

There is a concept being banded around the United States on Net Neutrality. The concept here is that Corporates will limit the reach of your internet connection in attempts to reduce costs and to force people to pay more for the use of wider parts of the internet. This here can cause an issue where internet corporates can limit access to information that may be damaging to their systems and reputation. When we challenge the typical internet censor states (like China) we need to be mindful of the fact that we maybe as subjected to the same levels of censorship at home, just a little more subtly. I could go on here cause there is a whole world of information warfare occurring under our very noses that we are blissfully unaware of. A war that has been put to extremely good use even as recent as the Georgia Crisis. I think it would be wise to point out that western corporations are also guilty of Net Censorship.
