People with zero understanding of the Internet try to make statements about it.

The threat of cybercrime is rising sharply, experts have warned at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
They called for a new system to tackle well-organised gangs of cybercriminals.

This is where things become problematic. When any organization starts trying to control the internet we see a decline in human intelligence. The internet is not a single location or country that is subject to the real word. On the internet, laws do not apply outside an individual server. That server is a form of government. It sets the laws for it’s own location and then interacts with the other servers on the internet, much in the same way a country might interact with the rest of the world. If you try to control it however, you are, for all intents and purposes, violating the rights of an independent nation. It’s an act of war. And the thing about the internet is that, while you may have an infinite number of rival servers and opinions, they are all united under the idea of freedom. They are allowed to do what ever they want. They can have those opinions and rivalries. But when people try to fight the internet or the freedom it represents, you get situations like the DDoSing of entire organizations.
One such incident was the mass DDoSing of the Scientology websites by the organization Anonymous. Scientology tried to regulate the internet and control freedom, and the internet retaliated first with DDoSing their servers, then taking to the streets by the tens of thousands during “Project Chanology” and protesting in cities around the world in front of Scientology buildings. To some, this may seem extremist, but to the internet, it’s a fight for freedom. A retaliation against oppression. Anonymous, while at a glance a hostile organization, is more of a militia. They are the citizens taking up arms and fighting an invasive enemy. Another retaliation the internet has created has become known as the “Streisand Effect” after a photographer taking pictures of California beaches accidentally took a picture of Barbara Streisand’s house. Streisand demanded the picture be taken down and had authorities force the few hosting websites to take the image off. At that time, there were only a dozen or so website hosting the picture. Within twelve hours, the image had spread to over 500,000 other websites. Wikileaks, a website dedicated to the free release of information, is another major situation. The website says that its goal is to help reporters in oppressive nations escape the bonds of censorship, and has untold amounts of classified government documents. Wikileaks had attained private Scientology documents and hosted them, but the Church of Scientology tried to force the website to remove them. Wikileaks responded with a simple statement, in retaliation for the censorship, they were going to release thousands of classified Scientology documents the next week.
You can’t control the internet. Doing so is like trying to control the void of space. It is infinite and ever-expanding. No matter what you do, the internet will win. The only effective way to control the internet is to not. The internet regulates itself and, despite common allegations from the ill-informed, is not a haven of stupidity and chaos. Like the real world, it does have problems. But the internet is in many ways more civilized than the real world.
Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise said that space was the final frontier. He was half-right. It is still a frontier, but not the final. The internet is the true final frontier. When it ends, it will indeed be with a bang, not a whimper.
