The whole issue boils down to censorship by the government, which is heavily influenced by affluent corporations and moreso from very powerful lobbyist groups. The government does not want the public to have the capability of openly communicating and expressing ideas (which tend to be anti-government such as this comment thread is biased) with each other because when shit hits the fan, people will revolt and the Internet will be the only means of communicating. By "regulating" the Internet the government will be in control of one of the last mediums of free speech, which is what it's all about politically when election time roles around or it comes time to declare war
