The airplanes and ships of the world are largely owned by private
interests. Yet there are very strong regulations that say exactly how they
shall be flown or sailed.

Regulation of the Internet is both legitimate and proper.  The question is
by whom, over what, what the regulations shall be, and what processes are
used to apply them.
