Big Brother and the Net

Makes a great name for a band, but it does not sound good when placed in the context of Internet control. Fifty years ago we would have had few complaints about the government having control over the Internet (if it existed). However, after decades of revelations of our government either being complicit in everything from starting wars to killing political officials or being just too incompetent to prevent them, we have very good reason to want the government to keep a hands-off policy concerning the Internet.
