U.N. to control use of Internet?

There's going to be one heck of a battle over this territory, IMO.

Yep. We'll end up knee-deep in empty brass, either literally or figuratively.

Only after they pry my keyboard from my cold, dead fingers...and after I have emptied every bullet possible into the bodies of those wearing the blue helmets.

The folks at the U.N. just are NOT that bright. We could fool them with a "fake internet", kind of like the way the townspeople in Blazing Saddles built a cheap copy of the town of Rock Ridge.

Who is the pinhead p.r. prick who came up with this stupid idea?

Leaders of a U.N. Internet panel yesterday said they hope to set up a global system where cyberspace would be under the control of the United Nations.

I am almost to the point where I think we should storm the U.N. with torches and pitchforks. Do these people think they are the world government ?

We need to make some serious changes to that organization.

"China was joined in its efforts by representatives of Syria, Egypt, Vietnam and South Africa.

Says it all, doesn't it?

Free Republic would be shut down in a heartbeat."

To be shortly followed by a midnight knock on the doors of all Freepers. JBT Alert!

Just a guess since this...

...wasn't the self-portrait you posted on your profile page.

"The panel is considering such problems as cyber-crime and e-mail spam and trying to determine how they can get thier fair share."

The time is coming when free people of the world will have to forcibly remove the abomination of the UN from it's pedestal before it is too late.

Tomorrow?

I'll pencil it in.

Say where and when; I'm really ready for this one. I got your back, CM.

This should get real interesting, real soon. There's no way the corrupt, disgraced UN can do anything we don't want them to do. We have all the guns.

[RobRoy]

Gee, what if the UN imposes internet resolutions on me and I violate them. Are they gonna send big bad George Bush after me?

[garyhope]

ROFL,...Thanks. If only that herbal stuff really worked. If only I had a possible reason,hope or dream to be able to use it.

If I read it right, the UN is saying they want to take over the issuance of Domain Names. That would be SO EASY to bypass. All you need is one sympathetic American willing to set up a DNS Server configured with the IP Addresses/Domain Names of the now forbidden sites. The IP Address of that DNS Server could then be added to the Network Configuration on the home computer of anyone who wanted to visit those sites. Even without such a server, you could still access any site you wanted by its IP Address:

http://209.157.64.201/

...works just as well.

[ViLaLuz]

Gracias, es la verdad.

even if we could keep the united nations out of it, eventually control would either go to china or india by virtue of their populations.
