Discuss the popular myth that someone controls the Internet.

What will be an ideal response?

No single group or organization controls the Internet. Governments in each country have the power to regulate the content and use of the Internet within their borders, as allowed by their laws. However, legislators often face serious obstacles getting legislation passed into law-let alone getting it enforced. Making governmental control even harder is the "bombproof" design of the Internet itself. If a government tries to block access to or from a specific country or Web site, for example, users can use a third party (such as an individual located in another country or a different Web site) to circumvent the block. This recently occurred in Turkey when the government blocked access to social networking sites in response to government unrest-a vast number of Turkish citizens were able to send Facebook and Twitter updates via VPN services routed through other countries.
