The Internet is the most powerful weapon ever divised by the United States. It is more powerful than a nuclear bomb, biological or chemical warfare, or Imperial expansion. The constant flow of free information that is imposible to block by ruthless dictatorships is the goal. The only ones that are trying to censor the Interent are the governments that feel that allowing their citizens and subjects access will undermind their rule.
There is no need to censor the Interent in Amercica. There is always oposition to each point of view. I could see the goverment in the US as offering thier own version of diss-information to counter the beliefs of others, but not censor it. Why censor when you can use it as a tool to advance your own agenda?
The Interent is an American weapon, a genie strategically let out of a bottle, to advance the ideals of American freedom. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to all. The idea that the US would need to censor the Interenet is counter intuitive. The whole point in "releasing" the Internet was that it would be imposible to bring down, block, destroy or censor. That is the point of the weapon. You can't stop it.
