UN Security Council Moves To End Anonymity On Internet

Canada Free Press ^ | 05/15/16 | David Singer

[Mr. M.J.B.]

And as always - the reason is to “combat ISIS.”

The GWOT is phony.

The Deep State runs ISIS - for reasons such as this (anonymity elimination) - global control of everything.

You got it. Are those women, jihadis or liberal male transvestites? Who knows.

[Maceman]

Anonymity was good enough for Madison, Hamilton and Jay when they wrote the Federalist Papers.

It’s good enough for me online.

The UN is a force for evil in the world. Stifling dissent against it by making anonymous opinion illegal will surely bring a shooting war in the long run.

[I want the USA back]

This means that Americans and all people in supposed “oppressor” countries will have to comply, but those in “poor” countries will not be made to. So they will be able to continue with their scams.

[Da Bilge Troll]

When did the UN take ownership of the Internet?

[mainestategop]

Its all about stigmatizing opponents and dissidents as well as forcing communism down the world's throat.

Seriously though, there is no worry about terrorism. The government can track anyone and has the tools to do so. You go on a chat room and brag about bombing something, the feds will be at your door chop chop!

What they want to do is broadcast our locations so that we can suffer harassment, violence and death at the hands of either neo nazis, urban thugs, anarchists and other undesirables that depend on the government to continue to be undesirable.

There are only two ways of telling the complete truth -
anonymously and posthumously. - Thomas Sowell

[VanDeKoik]

Just create a new internet.

Not like the existing one is the only one we could have.

[BuffaloJack]

The UN is no better than the League of Nations.
It needs to be disbanded.
At the very least, the US needs to withdraw from the UN and boot the UN out of the prime real estate it squats on in New York.

[VRWC For Truth]

More Mooselimb madness ...

[Uncle Miltie]

islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.

[SunkenCiv]

Ending the plague of anonymity...

...IOW, ending the ability to criticize dictators, jihadists, and jihadist dictators, as well as corrupt a-holes in allegedly free countries, is a worthwhile goal? It's an ACT OF WAR.

Amendment 1:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

does not establish a ceiling over the rights of the people. Rather, as

Amendment 9:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

makes plain, it is to be understood only as a floor under our rights.

There is a history of anonymous publication prior to the adoption of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. You may have heard of one anonymous publishing effort by three people. I refer of course to The Federalist Papers, by “Publius” - that is, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. Those worthies believed that the Constitution would not be adopted if not for their anonymous efforts.

“Ending the plague of anonymity on the Internet”

What does that mean? Anyone with the tiniest foot print can be located. Fake names, email, proxy servers, encryption etc. Just takes time.

So what does this bunch of tyrants really want to do?

Donald should buy the UN Building and evict the UN.

[IronJack]

What “plague?” Who is complaining about internet anonymity except the fascists who think it’s their business to know everything everyone is doing?

[KarlInOhio]

Iranian and North Korean nuclear weapons vs. me posting as KarlInOhio. Which does the UN consider to be a problem?

[Vendome]

[Red in Blue PA]

Well this should help dissidents living under tyrants/s

[Cobra64]

He might. Implode the building and The Donald could build a really nice hotel overlooking the East River. ;-)
