"Please get rid of these oppressive laws and give me the freedom of anarchy" OK, well that was nice for ten seconds but you should really start picking up those bodies off the street, otherwise the drug-baron overlords will get upset and shoot some more people.
Seriously though, the Internet is a worldwide system designed for information exchange. Imposing laws and rules on it will not work because who decides the rules? If the Internet is used for it's primary purpose then any kind of restriction is a breach of the generally-internationally agreed human right to Free Speech. Just because a text-based telephone system just happens to be using the Internet doesn't mean that the whole network should change. You wouldn't kick people out of their houses to make room for more billboards, the billboards are not the primary reason for the use of land, they are just an alternative that happens to use the same system (taking up land area, instead of Internet bandwidth)
