Eleutherophobia is the fear of being free. 

Some people, apparently, still have a fear of being free (they fear not having violent owners).  It's a fear I've never understood… but whenever you mention to them how much better a free market would be than the statist crapitalism we have today they like to say, "Show me one example of a truly free market that works!"

OK… the internet!

While governments do try to stifle it whenever they can they still, really, have no control over the internet in any meaningful way.  It is almost completely anarchic.
