nobody puts set 'controls' over the internet. it is the only form of mass media that is so. and the internet was rooted from the US army, and from a program called arpanet. not the federal gov't. the man that actually created the internet isnt even rich, actually, whoch is ironic because all these random startups generated web entrepreneurs billions, but the man who paved the way for them has nothing much to show for it.
however, as much as no one group controls the internet, it is being increasingly owned and eaten up by converging media corporations, who are limiting our use of the internet to fewer and fewer sites as time goes on. they try to keep you bound to a handful of sites every time you go on the internet...which is why NS is incredible, because it does the opposte. i was started up by a student, and has remained strong for years and years, wiuthout being bought out (haha, i hope), and all the while remaining free to its users. props.
