when the internet can govern itself better? Read this: Government control of Net is always a bad idea - CNET Mobile
I say it's on a case-by-case basis. It's a question as to how far do you want government to control. With children, it helps to set parental controls on the computer. With bomb making materials, I think there's still freedom of speech and even if you were 100%
in banning them on tbe internet, there are ways of getting around it.
One has to keep in mind too that government regulation can have undesirable effects, e.g. Prohibition. So you have to weigh the pros and cons and I hope that government doesn't go overboard.
