I thoroughly enjoyed your read. I have a few comments for you to mull over.

The article should re-iterate the impacts of loss of net neutrality and a focus of power in the summary at the end.

"They control politics. Facebook won the new president the election — even the president and his advisors acknowledge this.". This is really a stretch of the truth. Hillary surround herself with wealthy celebrities. She played the gender card hard (see her exit speech and look for "boys" and "girls" to see how transparent she was in her prejudice). Hillary lost (albeit by a small margin) by being out of touch with average people through arrogance, sexism, elitism. I would rewrite your section as it really doesn't reflect that I'd call truth.

There is also a battle raging in the media. Extreme sexism (eg. Look at NYT's hiring page for a gender editor - and if that's been altered, look at my past analysis), or collusion on topics like domestic violence (ie. not one single media outlet will admit that many women are aggressors too - that's extreme collusion across all mainstream media). This collusion represents a loss of freedom we need to fight for. If there's no media integrity, there's no Internet worth fighting for. There has been almost no integrity from much of the Internet for a long time.

Your cause is excellent. I hope we can build an Internet with more freedom.
