Ok my view on this matter probably wont change anything but ill put it out there anyways. The internet is the "information super highway" as many call it. To attempt to govern it would be pointless, irrational, and most of all ....wrong. If it is indeed the "Information super highway" then to censor and withold information, personal or not, would be against everything the internet stands for. The way i see it if you dont want other people to have access to it, then dont leave it where it can be accessed. If i were to break into a computer and steal someones credit card number or passwords then I would be a common thief and would justly be incarcerated. If I find a security loop-hole and expliot it to gain access to a network, home computer, or whatever then that leaves the owner at fault. In conclusion, If you were to try to govern internet it would have to be an international effort and it would still be impossible.
