Freedom of Speech

You know how the government always wants to seize control of the internet so it can make it secure? Let's check government's record on internet security:

"Internet hacking of government networks is nothing new. There have been 603 publicly disclosed cases of breaches of government and military networks since 2005, in which at least 141 million records were stolen, according to The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse Chronology of Data Breaches. "

But what about recently?

"Thus far in 2012, there have been 76 government and military network data breaches, in which 9.8 million records were taken. Cyber security and law enforcement experts say the publicly disclosed cases represent only a fraction of the actual number of successful hacks of corporate and government networks."

Who would think it's a good idea to turn over internet security to the same people who run Medicare? Government's desire to control the internet comes from its desire to stem freedom of speech.
