  In countries with low internet access, higher inequality does not lead to higher political instability. In fact, we found that in such relatively unconnected societies, inequality is sometimes associated with greater stability.

  This is why PRC needs to control the internet, they have to in order to maintain their one party dictatorship.

  I guess they must have had better internet in the French Revolution than we have here now! Everyone hates Comcast and now you know why ;).
