Sometimes such "control" is a good thing. For example recently on the amateur
radio packet network, a station in Italy thought it'd be cool to import a
flood of usenet mail into the packet bbs network. These messages contained
profanity, detailed beastiality, crystal meth sales and manufacturing... to
name a few issues with what this station did. The offender refuses to this day
to apologize because he is Roman and he can do as he pleases (his words!). 
Better control could have prevented this flood from infesting amateur radio
world wide as it did.

There's pros and cons to almost every story.
