In this Freeman article Wendy McElroy discusses the increasing likelihood of federal controls over the internet. It’s not enough for politicians to disseminate their own propaganda about all the good they’re doing for us; they also want to shut down the avenues by which people can blow the whistle on their continuing assaults on our liberty and property.

The more authoritarian the politician’s agenda, the more apt he is to think that “the public interest” is served in silencing those who criticize him. The Obama regime has more people like that than any we have ever had.
