Even Adam Smith argued for regulation of the free market. the Libertarians don't like to be reminded of that, but there it is.

It's also important to note that telecoms operate as natural monopolies which necessarily expose them to regulation. And, much like making credible threats to the life of the President over a phone line is not protected speech, not everything on the Internet would be protected speech (clearly, it isn't now). However, much like spending five hours a day on phone sex lines isn't illegal, spending five hours a day surfing redtube wouldn't be illegal.

Regulation isn't oppression. Oppression is oppression. Oppression should be fought at every turn, but it shouldn't be conflated with regulation. Although one can be used to advance the other, it's important to object to the actuality of oppression rather than the potential for oppression, particularly when there are many real-world benefits to regulation.

You think Chick-fil-A-Net is gonna let you surf AdultFriendFinder? Not unless the FCC compels them to.
