Does society want governments to take on the role of protecting the Internet? Should the Internet be considered a Critical Infrastructure and therefore be overseen by governments? Will such actions undermine privacy and liberty or will it be demanded by citizens to protect personal access and online security?

This precedent may be hotly debated by populations in countries around the world as each nation will ultimately need to determine what is best for them.
