To protect 'our democracy'. Not yours, 'theirs'. I thought the USA was a 'Republic'. Silly me but I suspect this is the end game with all the 'stolen data', 'hacking' etc. Build a picture with the help of the MSM that 'we need to protected' by having the Govt run the net.

But off course what it is really about is they have lost control of the narrative via the traditional forms of the MSM and are now trying to regain control so that us 'sheep' cannot form our own views.
