Right now the internet is a forum for the free exchange of ideas. Granted, the internet is certainly not without is insidious side, (pornography for instance), but still a site like this one can easily be set up and opinions presented, even if those opinions sometimes question government.
However that will all soon end. Governments and authorities are working to regulate the internet. With these new powers the authorities could easily shut down the entire internet or silence parts thereof that they don't like. Just as is happening now in Egypt and has happened in China .
It is entirely plausible and expected that at some point during the Tribulation period, the internet will be scrubbed clean of any and all sites that attempt to expose who and what the Antichrist is.
From the article:The move by Egyptian authorities to seal off the country almost entirely from the Internet shows how easily a state can isolate its people when telecoms providers are few and compliant. In an attempt to stop the frenzied online spread of dissent against President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year rule, not only Facebook and Twitter but the entire Internet was shut down overnight, leaving some 20 million users stranded.

Still, the Obama administration, which currently funnels $1.3 billion in military aid to the Egyptian government per year, refuses to condemn the Mubarak regime, and further more, is looking to embrace the exact same internet control mechanism in America . Indeed, when Senator Joe Lieberman attempted to justify draconian legislation that would provide President Obama with a figurative kill switch to shut down parts of the Internet indefinitely, he cited the Communist Chinese system of Internet policing as model which America should move towards.
