These big companies are like countries with their own governance and competition for citizens.

Steve,

Why do only dogs have the right to be a dog.  I want to be a dog.

Seriously, how do we get out of this internet MessOn the other hand, do you really think the I-net should be the wild west?  There is, after all, some reason they tamed the wild west, right?  All them darned school-marms came with their darned petticoats.  All them barrooms and hoorhouses replaced by them blasted churches and – worst of all – state universities!  Given the problem, what is the least worst thing that can be done?

Be interested to see if what unfolds in the next few days is an internet lynch mob.

2.        Everyone has the right to hot water, heating in winter and a tiled roof.
3.        Everyone has the right to die, but this is not an obligation.
4.        Everyone has the right to make mistakes.
5.        Everyone has the right to be unique.

Though I suppose this might be a tangent to what NST and GEPR have in mind?

There are many attempts. Here's a plausible one:

Ideally, you would gather a stakeholder and thought leader delegation and make an attempt to write down all the values ... a Declaration of Independence for the internet.
