You've been able to access information you never thought even existed thanks to the internet. I know I have. And the governments of the world don't like this. Fight to retain this ability. If we lose this, all is lost.
The reason the internet/tech business still creates wealth and jobs is precisely because the governments of the world still haven't figured out how to suck the blood out of them like they have in nearly every other industry through endless legislation, rules and regulations. Of course it is no wonder that some of the most succesful of the internet world, Peter Thiel, Steve Jobs and Jimmy Wales are commited Libertarians – they understand the enemy they are up against.
The real reason the government wants to censor the internet and talk incessantly about the need for an internet kill switch is for the same reason Egypt had an internet kill switch… and China has the "great firewall"… because they know 2012 will be the year of massive protests, riots and turmoil in response to the US being sold out from underneath the people and they know that the people will organize themselves via the internet.
