" One of the biggest enemies to collectivists everywhere is the free flow of information. Totalitarians have always sought to control the media and use it to disseminate it's propaganda.

Their real concern is not pornography or terrorism as they claim, but the free flow of information that exposes their agendas. " Socialists in the House: the Progressive Caucus
Why is the internet a threat to the Left?
The obvious reason is that it allows the truth, i.e., the opposite of the Left's propaganda to get out...and maybe influence citizens who think for themselves.
That's the idea behind the Obama administration's IRS strategy, the stultification of the conservative groups to reduce their influence in the election. Recall, after the 2010 elections, Obama said he took a 'shellacking.'
But there is a darker motivation.....shut down the internet, or allow only what the collective wants on it, and one can reduce the organizing power of the internet: it would block resistance if the administration did something......unthinkable.
