The US government IS trying to stop the free flow of information. Some of that information consists of sharing done in violation of copyright law, but it is still information, nonetheless. And it is not a conspiracy to point out ways in which the US government has rolled back civil liberties and violated Constitutional guarantees. We recently had the case of a US citizen who was extra-judicially killed by the CIA. All it took was his name being put on a special list by the President. No indictment, no trial, no due process at all. It is not 'conspiratorial thinking' to be disturbed by that precedent.
