The truth to your question is, anybody who wants to. Hackers, activists, 
governments, terrorists all have the ability to control it. But probably not all 
at the same time. 


With the increase in irresponsible security disclosures by folks such as Tavis 
Ormandy, power and control is very much being handed to "the people".

I have been campaigning for a while to get tighter laws introduced on 
irresponsible security disclosures, to give the government more control over the 
internet.
