Ted Cruz Says He ‘Cannot Overstate’ the ‘Threats’ to Internet Freedom, Independent News Websites Like Drudge


From the Blaze:
Ted Cruz said Sunday evening that the “threats to Internet freedom” have “never been greater” and could have the potential of affecting independent online news outlets like the Drudge Report. 
Speaking to TheBlaze Sunday evening in Dallas, Texas, the Republican presidential candidate responded to reports that Congressional review of digital copyright law could threaten aggregator news websites. 
“I think threats to Internet freedom continue growing,” Cruz said. “This administration views the Internet as a threat.” 
The Texas senator cited the Federal Communications Commission’s move to classify broadband Internet service as a public utility as evidence of the threat.

It is difficult to see how this threat will materialize using the "copyright" laws given the established 'fair use' parameters. Unless the msm can somehow 'copyright' exact phrases/titles, or letters of the alphabet, it seems impossible and sadly pathetic as much as alarming.
Who will play the role of Winston Smith and how/who determines the parameters of Big Brother?
