Do you really believe that any measures to regulate the internet wouldn't be abused? Handing control over what happens on the internet over to any one government or organisation is a terrible idea.

Anybody that is willing to give up their rights and freedoms out of fear and for a false sense of security is pretty much taking a dump on the sacrifices that allowed us to enjoy the rights and freedoms that we have.

A free internet also gives voices to people without one, it can reveal injustices and corruption that would otherwise remain unknown. It has the power to keep the people in power in check and that's why it must never be regulated by those people.
