Currently, the internet enjoys partial freedom and liberty, but the plan is to make it just as controlled (if not more so) than everyday life already is.
To do that, sweeping changes to the current financial system, and taxation, will be required.
A group called "Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development" has written a manifesto which is becoming the blueprint for this new world order.
The stated aim is global taxation, and more importantly, stricter control of all digital communication. How exactly they plan to do that remains in discussion, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve much silver, except perhaps in the circuitboards.
For more information on the new monetary system coming soon, see this Orwellian article on CNN by someone called 'Hadas Gold'.
