"If countries like China manage to get the Internet in their hands it will change absolutely all the rules," he said. "It's quite scary."

If the UN gets control of the internet, it will be as free as Myanmar or the Sudan.

"Developing Nations" is just another name for "tin pot dictators" who want to control the information that gets to "the little people" (also known as democrats in this country).

Can you imagine the last two presidential elections without having talk radio and the "alternative media?"

Hillary has talked about "filtering the flow of information on the Internet," and of course, the leftists are going to try to muzzle talk radio with the "fairness doctorine"

Yeah, leftists support Free speech! my @$$!

LOL!!! Yeah, all them uneducated peasants are very concerned with the stuff they see when they surf the net.

T1 line

The operative word in that entire article is "control." The internet means freedom of speech and freedom of ideas. Tyrannical regimes all over the world have a right to feel threatened...they are.

THE CORE ISSUE IN A NUTSHELL

My email had a little different tone...

To whom it may concern;

What in the holy hell do you U.N. screw-up's think you can do to improve the Internet?

In the last 10 years what have you done that gives us any assurance you would not TOTALLY screw it up!

All you could EVER do is restrict and over bureaucratize it. Why don't you just Get Over It and go back to stealing others money and keeping it.

Good Riddance I hope the UN Folds

Beautiful and well put! I hope that they don't send some blue-helmets to your place and, well, I don't know. The French Army would scare me worse!
