    Yes.

    The government knows what's best for us all.

    I think that the Government should regulate the internets because:

    The government could get rid of the bad things that every one of us tens of millions of peoples hates, such as music, video and games! for the profit of our good friends, the big companies and corporations and the tens or even hundreds or so people who work for them.

    And lets not forget how much of the internet is made and done in America, especially the english speaking part of the internet... and English is the most spoken language after all! the part we (I) care about... and that "the government regulating the internet" translates into foreign english as "the american government dominating our country and the world".

    And lets not imagine other nations responses to such things... ?
    The internet would finally be united!

    The concept that someone would seriously expect internet denizens to seriously ponder this subject and have a conversation that isn't nothing but ""We all say no" boggles the mind.
    As I was walking down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    I say yes, and I nominate the government of Lesotho. Why, for a world-wide decentralized network that is hosted in no single nation, all governments have equal right, and why not Lesotho if you want it to be under the control of a government singular? I am certain regulation would be a trivial exercise that would not require significant resources of any sort at all.
