</div>I beleive that governments, if we let them, will control the Internet to the point at which none of us have anything more than a walled garden with selections that are approved for the populations. These walled gardens will be rich with content and lovely to inhabit, but not necessarily the content we want or need. Most of the the population will be satisfied and as the CS rep fro Belarus said yesterday at one of the Human Rights council side meetings, "we have Internet." But as an Azerbaijani participant said at a meeting last year, is a walled garden the Internet.<br>
<br>
Some freedom of expression and association will be allowed so that there is something to surveil, so there will always be some limited ability to comment - they can't catch the threats if they don't allow the citizens a bit of leash.<br>
<br>
Through the slow march of making citizenry ever more safe and harmonious, all done for the very best of reasons, governments will constrict the Internet's availability evermore.<br>
<br>
But this can only occur if we allow them. Hence the permanent struggle to keep the Internet open.<br>
