  It's never amusing to have somebody continuing to remove your freedom, one bill at at time, year in, year out, decade after decade. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail, but they always move the ball a little closer to the end-zone. The ball never travels in the direction of more-freedom, only less. You're probably too young to get that, but after a few decades, the amusement begins to pall.

However, most businesses require the internet, and really trying to cripple it would destroy the wealth that the government leeches to survive. The saving grace is ultimately HTTPS traffic (since it's used by everybody), and the ability to tunnel arbitrary protocols over it.
