The rulers figured out the internet is too dangerous to their power. They thought they could control it and us, and they did for a long time, but it's not working anymore. Now they are cracking down on our ability to communicate, to prevent ideas from spreading and taking hold that they cannot tolerate.

Oh my bad, obviously there are no ultra wealthy people with power boners able to use their fortunes to get their way.
