This is no different, this would be the first step to control the internet. And it will happen, not now but in the near future, because when our friendly leaders want it it will go through no matter what.

Rubbish.
I lived most of my life before we had the free Internet guarding or backs. During that time I saw a controlled press bring down a President and a UK Government. Watched it stop a war and reveal so many scandals, corrupt officials and scum that the list is too long. Even in the days of the Internet they still reveal scandals and corruptions. The cricketers now in jail because of the News Of The World, the politicians in jail because of the Guardian. Both in last 12 months.
Was it the controlled media who exposed Bush and his war mongering or the Internet? It was both, but they still can't muzzle the media, so have no fear they won't muzzle the Internet.
You're dead right, control will come. But it won't be that bad for those who abide by the law. For those who don't. They will suffer.
