It's terrifying to think just how fast some countries are moving toward full control of the internet and communication means for their citizens. From internet blackouts to intranets (just saw a BBC article on it [0]), it seems like the hot new thing for regimes is to take control of the internet because it's where people go for information.

It is not "some" countries. It is "all" countries - they all feel the power/needs to monitor, control the internet.
