Government's War on the Internet

Randall Rothenberg writes an interesting piece that is publsished on the Interactive Adverstising Bureau's website as "Governments's War on the Web" and in somewhat different form for a much broader audience at the Huffington Post as "War against the Web".

This is well worth reading, a snippet is below:

"With barely an acknowledgement of the myriad ways in which the Internet has revolutionized economic development, information access, and communications diversity, an increasingly organized coalition of anti-business groups is mobilizing to get the Government to shut it down.
And the scary thing is: They are succeeding. I’ve detailed this “break-the-Web” effort in an article in yesterday’s Huffington Post. I urge you to print it out, circulate it, and oppose the forces that would force you under. (More on that later.)"
