camels nose under the tent.
Chipping away at the rock of freedom...
This is sounding more and more like the Clinton administration, that never saw an international agreement it didn't sign. The nose of the globalist camel is under the tent. The US should not have even been at the meeting in Tunis, but should have sent them this message: It's OUR net.
IMO, Bush should have thanked them for their opinions and claimed a pen malfunction before not signing this. The UN is full of slimy operators and I have a VERY bad feeling about this.
It's our internet. It's our gift to the world. If you don't like it, leave.
No friggin way the UN gets the internet. This is as important as any national defense issue we face.
This can only be the first of many steps in bringing the internet under the control of those governments who suppress free speech as a matter of political policy. Eventually those restrictions on the net would find a home with our own politicians.
Also, suppression of the net would once again make the liberal MSM the gatekeepers of information. That can never be allowed to happen again.
The WSJ said, yesterday, that the likely, eventual outcome will be separate controls in different areas, such as China and Europe. This is really the best that we can hope for.
Let the UN set up their own freakin' internet, and see how many people willingly subject themselves to its yoke. Seriously, set up a .un domain, and let the crooks administer it, and we'll see just how long it lasts and how much good it does. Otherwise, they need to STFU.
We've got a forum right here, the UN doesn't need another one. And, if Kofi tries to take over the internet don't worry -- Sony can shut it down overnight with a few CDs.
Done pretty well so far without their governance. Might keep on doing well. Might free a billion Chinese. Don't we want that, Mr. President?
Hopefully, this is a "feel-good" resolution for the whiners -- the equivalent of giving Barney Fife a bullet that he can keep in his shirt pocket to make him feel important...

Not to worry this is a non-binding forum, like the General assembly of the UN. The US, and Icann still control the addressing and all the important stuff, this is meant to shut up the euro twits, it still most likely will not work but hey we can dream!
What "injustices" are the marxists conjuring up that the USA are doing?
The following sentence appears in the article. I post the sentence so all of us who are American can gasp in awe at the British command of the English language, as it is exemplified at the Guardian. See how many mistakes you can find, just for fun:
The finally wording remains to be decided but reform will have to take place in the governmental advisory committee of Icann, which plays only an advisory role.
If All People created the internet, then, All People should have a say.
They didn't. They squatted in their mud huts and ate bugs while others worked and created.
