The internet can't be controlled (by anyone). Darpa designed it to withstand nuclear war. The internet views censorship as damage, and routes around it.

The internet views censorship as damage, and routes around it.

Censorship is, frankly, a modest hazard here. The major threat to the internet if it were to be managed by the EU and/or UN would be taxation of online business transactions. Imagine if every ticket or trinket you bought, every stock you traded, every auction item on eBay, had a "world development" tax attached to it, which would be sent to unelected, unaccountable law-unto-themselves bureaucrats in Brussels or UN HQ, and which could be raised at will by that same criminal element.

That is why the Euroscum are salivating over the internet. Once they have all your money at risk, they couldn't care less what you say about them.

The only things that are really "controlled" are IP address space and DNS. Of course those are fairly large items.
