That's a rather cynical view, and one I disagree with.
There are people (people like you and me) who use their position in government to screw us. And this happens mostly because companies send their lobbyists, to financially entice our elected offiicials to do so.
I am with
@Masato Toys on this one. And this is nothing new, it happened in the food industry,bankingindustry, tabacco industry, etc etc. The government is being used like a dish rag or a hammer, an object to do their bidding. The government is infected by corruption, greed, etc. And now they have their sights on the internet, the next thing to bend at the hands of big business.
