What about freedom?
That it might seem like something new that internet freedom is being curtailed, but in a more generic way freedom was taken away from people in many ways already today and before in the past. Likewise how freedom has been gained countless times before will also apply to the internet in some form today and in the future. It just appears novel but it's your every day human power dynamics at work.
I understand your point. Yes, its nothing new. We have seen limitetion of the freedom of expression in different times and ages.
