Caveat Emptor: Internet Fascism

So, you've purchase this thing called the 'internet', and you'd like to get a handle on how it works. Here is a primer.

The 'internet' has been compared to the wild, wild west, which is fine and good if you think that the west can be tamed.

It cannot. Not this time. Nor should it be tamed, unless one thinks that the alternative, fascistic internet, would be any better. If we make the wrong turn, make no mistake, we will have reached the end of the internet.
