There are two broad statements made here in this post which I am a little bit suspicious about them: one is, the genesis of the internet was created to be free. and second is the internet which is controlled by the government stifles the innovation.

There is weak evidence that the internet is created to be free. By reviewing the history and the pillars of the networks which were the primitive versions of the internet, and by tracing the evolution, I see a centralized, controlled technology. Second, many of the greatests innovation are backed by governments, especially in war times.
