.Developing countries demand share of control

·US says urge to censor underlies calls for reform

A battle has erupted over who governs the internet, with America demanding to maintain a key role in the network it helped create and other countries demanding more control.
The European commission is warning that if a deal cannot be reached at a meeting in Tunisia next month the internet will split apart.

Yes, and it was build by tax payers money. It's a theft. How much did Europeans pay for it. None. They don't have the right to challenge control over Internet.

operation of the 'net. NoWay! Nohow!

The EU is an organization which legislates how curved a banana can be.
Now they want to run the Internet.
Right.

[ThomasMore]

Too much foreign bullshit on the net anyway. Dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
