It is my strongest belief (maybe, because I am probably 
younger than you sir) that the Internet, or any future form
of it, will be a so radically novel way for all of us for being 
and creating, that the current politicians don't even start 
realizing, even less trying or succeeding in controlling it.

That said, I agree with you when you write:
"The politicians try to capture the web for their needs".
It is not for this though that I don't like politicians. As I said
before, everyone has the right to speak and operate in the
Internet. I don't like politicians because they are not political 
persons, but crypto-commercial persons. What I mean is this:
They are trying to sell themselves, not their ideas or their
aspirations and at the same time they hide this (crypto is a
Greek word for hidden), claiming that they speak on the name
of the people, for the good of the people and stuff like that.
It is OK, though, they have the right to do that. And I have
the right to say what I am saying. 

So, ...
so the greatest danger of the Internet, as I see it (the danger,
and the internet) is not politicians or politics, it is ourselves,
being ... how can I put it ... ignorant, frozen, uneducated, simple
spectators, in other words, the danger is: all of us, the users,
being a-political.
