Who controls the internet?
Actually you are ALL wrong. The US has the monolopy on the TLD`s (Top level domains) .com etc So they do have a certain amount of control over it as they have first rights to any .com domain and as we all know most websites want to be whatever.com and not whatever.tv or whatever.org

In what ways does the U.S. government control the Internet?
The USA has a tribunal competent to issue secret warrants of mass surveillance against foreign powers. It's the infamous FISC - Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court - created by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 1978 [1].It's the USA asking itself authorization to spy on other countries.Even though these warrants have to be specific to their purpose, it was found that Verizon was forced to disclose private data of millions of USA's citizens [2], despite the 4th amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. If it wasn't for Edward Snowden [3], we'd never know about this.It's an espionage tribunal doing the Supreme Court's job. A lawyer cannot protect your rights properly if he can't study the respective jurisprudence. And you certainly cannot protect rights you didn't know were infringed.To answer your question, the USA create secret exceptions to your privacy online, among other means of communication.Sources:[1] http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STA...[2] NSA collecting phone records of millions of Verizon customers daily[3] NSA spying scandal: what we have learned
Is the internet a 'completely out-of-control monster'?
I’m not even going to read the article but work on this rule:“Anything written by the Daily Mail is likely to be at least 95% made up crap.”You can add to that the more famous one by Betteridge's - the Law of headlines:"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."So No.
In 1999, the United States gave control of the Panama Canal to Panama. How do the country of Panama will benefit from the canal?
The US was giving Panama half a million dollars a year . Panama is now making three million a day .the US was screwing them over like they do everybody .panama is running the canal very well and soon our 3rd lock will be finished to allow larger ships .after the US army shot some local kids putting up their flag in their own country the US was forced to give up the canal and leave or it might have started a bunch of US people being killed
