Hmm, is Internet ≡ Media ? I don’t think so.
However, Media may be controlled, even as propagsnda and Agitprop needs to be harshly controlled; the internet NEEDS to be free, and it WAS created as such – for the benefit of, first and foremost, the Intelligence Sector/agencies[ fx why do you think your PC is stamped “Intel Inside”?] .
There are of course people who will inhabit the “safe” corners of the Net( Media, new, old and “alternative”, which is only the new old); there are also, and always will be, those who wlll not only inhabit, but explore, unknown facets of this Web and its denizens, real or artificial, legal or illegal, and report back to the dying savages therefrom.
