In other words, the Internet is not the free territory you envision--it's controlled by corporate providers.

Congress wants to be ready to prevent abuses.

Who do we have to pay off to get RO's web site selection limited?

Google could do that.

Another common misperception, that we search the Internet. Actually, we're searching the search engine's servers. Serious web site owners even submit their sites to Google et al.

He still has an ISP, he still goes through search engines, and all this can be controlled.

Congress doesn't want to wait for a crisis for the tools to prevent abuse.
