Some points are not a threat by itself, the threat comes from an abuse or lack of balance: censorship vs "uninformation" (hoax and the like: publishing ex-girlfriend nude photos...child-porn...). Free services will continue to exist based on advertising. Skype could go into pay model, but there are still open source tools that will work with skype (Europe granted this by forcing M$ to share some code). About the privacy concern remember the mobile phone "ping" affair in Germany... this is probably one real threat nowadays not for internet, for us. But with the proper balance, is something good to have. Virus should be on this list, not only as a threat by itself, as they become tools for the actual threat... anyway this is human nature: none of the threats that is facing internet is new to us...
