The internet poses a threat to the status quo - my local library will never stock anything written by Emma Goldman or Noam Chomsky, but, thanks to the interent, this information is pretty much at my fingertips.
They don't like that - it's far too democratic for a status quo that wants to pretend it's democratic while ensuring that we never understand the idea of democracy in any way that doesn't keep them in power and in the money.
