"Free and Open Internet"

You mean, the network created by the US government for the use of military and research institutions? The idea of the Internet as an anarchist state is a far more temporary concept than that of the Internet as a regulated environment where people are supposed to act with a sense of decency. Anyone who argues otherwise is too young, or too ignorant, to know what they're talking about ... And it doesn't surprise me that most of these Internet trolls whining about censorship were born in the 1980s and later.

That's a bit like saying men should hunt and women must raise children because that what they were doing for a long time and that's what they were 'meant' to do.

Internet is no longer a network for the US government and research institutions.
