Either way its considered PRESS at this point and should not be infringed.
There is a big difference between owning a firearm, and using the internet. The internet is a SERVICE, a GUN is a physical item.

Just because you THINK it's PRESS, doesn't make it so. It's a medium for the transmitting of data. You want press, read a newspaper.

Internet2: Government Relations

Don't fool yourselves into thinking you and the government are competing for bandwidth on the same playing field.

The internet offers purchasing of addresses .com etc and not subject to the FCC there for all the more reason it is free of speech. PRESS SALES NEWSPAPERS of which is a service that you buy a newspaper and read it.
The internet has been a source of data, and free speech and ideas and shared with the people without government intervention. With its freedom it grows in leaps and bounds without government restrictions, has protections builtin to computers and security solutions. The internet has become a place of PEOPLES FREE SPEECH NOT GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED FCC and or corporation newspapers.
The internet is the greatest threat to the government tryanny and its direct control of ideas and its people and that is why they want a kill switch. They also want to make sure they can monitor and collect all the tax information they can on sales and other items they are think they are entitled too. They want to kill wikileaks, and find new ways to cover up their lies and information from leaking to the public.

This is not about secuirty its a complete lie and about control of our freedoms.

Government should never be allowed to control our communications. That is a huge increase in government power at the expense of freedom.
