The lever is a primitive technology but also an apt descriptor of it. I'm not describing technology, but rather describing the application of it.
>Do you think laws should not be applied to the Internet?
Depends. For now I think it depends on what your opinion on communication between people is. Are the laws to regulate, monitor, enforce, and use coercion to prevent or hinder people from communicating with each other, or to allow the freedom of expression with each other?
In long term, since we are in the infancy of such a tool, I think computers/internet will eventually rein supreme over the old laws.
