Except these laws already apply to every other form of media and they aren't being used to silence whistleblowers or political opposition.

"Every other form of media" is not the same as the media on the internet, where individuals create the media.

More importantly, why would you want the federal government to have such abusable power? The sky may not be falling now, but that is no excuse to do nothing while our freedoms are eroded.

It's not absolute power, as evidenced by the fact that it hasn't been absolute power.
