I don't think it is that simple. ISIS does just fine on the web, I'm sure Neo Nazis will do just fine as well. But that's no reason why the IT giants of the planet should aid and abet them.

But the Internet is neither free nor public... (?)
If we cheer this, we cheer that DNS is a flawed system. Which I think we already know from Comcast injecting ads and datacap banners in pages.
