Furthermore, it's not necessarily that it's new, it's more that it became unexpectedly large and powerful. Hence why it's being regulated more now instead of when it was first created-- no one knew it'd be the biggest thing since sliced bread.
How can you not get this? Of course it was a bad analogy, I made a point of that, since you probably wouldn't catch a more subtle one, but apparently you have again missed the point...
The internet is not a special flower. The internet is big, but just because something is popular or powerful should NOT give it extra privileges; you say the elite control us all, and it's true, but it seems like you don't even care to stop it, in fact, you are protesting it when people try to take AWAY their power. You are already resigned to your fate as societal livestock, but even normal livestock don't willingly SUPPORT the master that is eventually going to slaughter them and sell off their parts to the highest bidder.
