| I entirely agree with Xandax post, but I will elaborate a bit:
The main problem with the "information wants to be free" concept and internet, is that it requires a lot of knowledge to be able to find knowledge, and differentiate between knowledge and false claims.
Some years ago I read this article (I don't remember the name of the author, unfortunately) written by an American professor in sociology I think he was, about the development of new social classes where information is replacing material possessions as the segregating factor. He proposed that in today's Western society, two classes are developing: those who have access to information and can use it freely, and those who don't. Those who don't are the targets for media, politicans and other interest groups to manipulate in the direction that suits their goals.
Ultimately, this is a question of freedom to act in the world and in your own life, since without knowledge, people are much more vulnerable to manipulation by incorrect information.
