2. Should the government have oversight of internet content? Is it needed? Is it possible? Why or why not?

If the government doesn’t already have an oversight of internet content, then it will eventually gain one, even if it isn’t necessary. As the American populace becomes more fused with their internet personas, issues and problems would start to rise, serious dangers that would need some force of power to settle occurrences. Just like the police monitoring the public, the government would see it necessary for it to protect the public from anything that could damage or hurt the reputation of the average American Joe. Still, for the government to receive such control and power over the internet would be quite a feat to conquer, requiring some kind of device or government installed bug into American websites to regulate and possibly correct the public’s internet usage. For the American government to take control of an entity shared by all nations, a rigorous modification and integration of a control virus would be necessary and hard to perform without countermeasures of an opposing force taking place. Just as companies begin to grow and expand in the real world as in the net, more regulation and compliance to new rules would become more important to prevent monopolies and other crisis afflicting the public.
