Wasn't it our government who invented the Internet? I say screw the EU - let them leave.

Its not quite that simple. We don't want the net to fragment more than it already is. There are already chunks that filter content, such as China. Splitting up the naming system makes it all that much easier to get away with cutting off their populous from the outside world. We want a unified Internet, not a bunch of internets.

The US government did invent the Internet, but it was private enterprise that built it as we know it today. If it wasn't for telecomm deregulation, we would not have the Internet we have today. We don't want the Internet under any government's control, but we do want it unified.
