I'm not so sure. The establishment was slow to grasp the true power the Internet provides them, but it's quite sure that the Internet is a tool and it's just as useful to the authoritarians and establishment as it is to grass roots organizations.

Especially without any way to validate trustworthiness of actors, the Internet is simply another medium that is polluted by monied interests.
