University of Sunderland professor Alex Lockwood says nationalization of the Internet is one way to get a handle on the problem in his view, of scientists skeptical of global warming who use the Internet to disseminate their research. His reasoning shows how easily the rationale for regulation can creep from network structure to content control:

I would argue that climate disinformation online is a form of cultural and political malware every bit as threatening to our new media freedoms, used not to foster a forum for open politics but to create, in Nancy Fraser’s term, a “multiplicity of fragmented publics” that harms not only our democracy, but our planet.

Ready for a little European fascism, anyone?

Most in the United States are not only ready for it, they will welcome it with open arms. As evidenced by the last Presidental Election. Those who do not want it are in the minority.
