C'mon, everyone understands "the central role that the Internet plays in their constituents’ lives", more or less. What they don't understand is how the Internet _works_. I doubt that before last week there weren't more than a dozen Congressmen who could explain DNS, never mind think through the implications of filtering. All of that was for the "experts", whom Congress turned to for "assurances" that everything would be okay. The media were scarcely better. So they're no better than their experts, who are, hello, conflicted, or / and cherry-picked by conflicted players. If we really want to get out of this lobbying complex, we might insist that our representatives demonstrate some actual knowledge before they legislate.
