UN Control Of The Internet?
SENATOR DENOUNCES REPORT CALLING FOR UN GLOBAL INTERNET CONTROL
Our country funded and developed the Internet. Last I checked, the Internet seemed to be working just fine. Despite that, the UN wants control of the Internet turned over to them.
Money quote:
"My probe of the U.N. as Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations revealed management that was at best, incompetent, and at worst corrupt," said Coleman. "The first priority for the United Nations must be fundamental reform of its management and operations rather than any expansion of its authority and responsibilities. The Internet has flourished under U.S. supervision, oversight, and private sector involvement. This growth did not happen because of increased government involvement, but rather, from the opening on the Internet to commerce and private sector innovation. Subjecting the Internet and its security to the politicized control of the UN bureaucracy would be a giant and foolhardy step backwards."
The UN—what chutzpah! The UN had a human rights commission headed and chaired by the world’s worst abusers of human rights; what now, an Internet committee headed by such bastions of technological advancement as Haiti? An Internet committee consisting of members from countries known for the free-flow of ideas, like China or Syria?
