n a speech today in South Korea, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the Internet "needs rules to be able to flourish and work properly." This, according to Kerry, is necessary even for "a technology founded on freedom."
Speaking on behalf of the Obama administration, Kerry said that Internet policy is "a key component of our foreign policy."
Kerry made his remarks in the context of talking about how international law is applicable to the Internet. "As Ive mentioned, the basic rules of international law apply in cyberspace. Acts of aggression are not permissible. And countries that are hurt by an attack have a right to respond in ways that are appropriate, proportional, and that minimize harm to innocent parties. We also support a set of additional principles that, if observed, can contribute substantially to conflict prevention and stability in time of peace. We view these as universal concepts that should be appealing to all responsible states, and they are already gaining traction," said Kerry.

This is how the left will control speech on the Internet.
Via Treaty and International Law.

While conservatives are sitting on their asses being the smartest people in the room, the left takes over.
If I was a liberal, I’d be laughing and pissing in everyone’s face too. :)

Kerry, like Clinton and Obola, are already
collecting kickbacks by promising “rights of control”
to non Americans, not of Heinz ketchup, but the
DARPA-invented Internet.
That is Treason and Theft.

Yes they will. They have the power now and will get it by 2016. They may even get full control of the net before the elections. Some rumors says June 12th or so FCC will tell us the new rules.

Really?
Free Markets and Customer Satisfaction are such horrible things.
Only government regulations can force the companies to do it right.
