The internet is not sovereign in the only way that matters: it has no army.
As far as it being "hard" to control information flows, what do you think the international efforts to tie ID to internet access ("for the children") are for? It is porn today, and banks and Amazon tomorrow, and then you need burner accounts (or someone else's...) to do anything online without it being to your identity. And suddenly, information doesn't really feel like being so free anymore.
