I disagree.  The Internet is and always has been political.   That is to say, the Internet is part of a vision of a better world - and trying to change the world for the better is inherently political.   (Though we need to realize that the reality of the Internet falls well short of that vision, even in areas where we got what we thought we wanted.)
