Should The Government Be Able To Regulate The Internet?

" No one owns the internet, but people have their personal accounts and information stored in it. I believe that the government - federal, state and local levels - should not be able to regulate the internet, social media and be able to read our emails. However, they are allowed to monitor internet activities in order to be able to recognize and neutralize any potential threats to themselves or the country, but so long it does not violate the fourth amendment of no unreasonable searches or violation of privacy.
