It is in fact governments doing most of the malicious things to the Internet. China firewall, Russia, US espionage & data abuse, Turkey or Brazil censorship, British hate crimes on YouTube or Twitter, anti-porn legislation in Britain or Australia, and so on.
I can relatively easily block Facebook if I want to, on every site I visit. Try figuring out a way to eliminate all of the NSA's data hoovering of you. Tell the TSA you're not giving them your device, etc.
The Cloud Act is government legislation, that was not initially promoted by private industry. Private industry gave in over time because the alternative the government would pursue instead is far scarier. It was a compromise to keep the politicians in DC from doing something even more draconian. I don't agree with that compromise, however, just try saying no to them (see the Yahoo fines).
