"Maybe there is a very good reason why some Right-wingers are calling for regulation of the internet!"

Darn right there is. The TV and radio mass media are pretty much under centralized control already, but the Internet isn't, so the government will be looking for ways to change that. In Egpyt and other Muslim states when social action really got moving, the government moved to shut down the Internet. They'll do that here too at some point if they feel they have to.
