How long will the internet survive?

Now there's a 'war' on, how long can the internet survive? Surely if those pesky terrorists use it to put out their diabolical messages and communicate freely then its use will have to be severely curtailed in the interest of safety and the war on terrorism.
I'm amazed that it hasn't been taxed or licensed yet. Has business become too dependent on this 'trojan horse' for it to be confiscated by the gestapo?

Someone should set up an indymedia site over Freenet.
I highly recommend every activist check this out and start using it, and supporting it in any way they can:
From the website:
What is Freenet?
Freenet is a large-scale peer-to-peer network which pools the power of member computers around the world to create a massive virtual information store open to anyone to freely publish or view information of all kinds. Freenet is:
Highly survivable: All internal processes are completely anonymized and decentralized across the global network, making it virtually impossible for an attacker to destroy information or take control of the system.
Private: Freenet makes it extremely difficult for anyone to spy on the information that you are viewing, publishing, or storing.
Secure: Information stored in Freenet is protected by strong cryptography against malicious tampering or counterfeiting.
Efficient: Freenet dynamically replicates and relocates information in response to demand to provide efficient service and minimal bandwidth usage regardless of load. Significantly, Freenet generally requires log(n) time to retrieve a piece of information in a network of size n.
