Well some do even when it's obviously a trick question for the slow thinkers. And warned to think about it first.
What stops a company like Microsoft buying up main service providers and any other service that controls people access to the WWW?
Is it a little law about Net Neutrality?
With the Internet not subject to any laws, someone could turn your Internet connection into another version of your cable TV connection. Your basic connection allows you to see this list of sites, if you want to surf Torrents you need the Torrent package, if you want to surf porn sites you need the Porn package, if you want to surf social network site you need that package emails also come with an extra charge and so on. The profit potential is amazing.
Microsoft or Google or some other company would control the Internet.
Don't fear the little scammers from an Internet not subject to laws and controls. Fear the big man.
There's no such thing as real freedom. We need laws and regulations to maintain the illusion of freedom.
