Not always, obviously. But I think it's important to at least differentiate between the purpose of law and the purpose of business. Assuming the best case for the former but the worst case for the latter doesn't make a lot of sense.

Laws at the very least could act to limit the ability of corporations to limit access and mine user privacy - but businesses in the best case are still going to attempt to do what makes money, which will almost never mean the less lucrative option of allowing their customers greater freedom and more privacy.

I think the general thesis here is that internet freedom is more secure in an environment where it is considered a right and not a term of service.
