EU, UN to Wrestle Internet Control From US
Anonymous Coward writes "The Guardian is reporting that the EU, obviously unimpressed with the US's refusal to relinguish control of the Internet, will be forming several comittees and forums with a mind to forcibly remove control of the Internet from the United States." From the article: "Old allies in world politics, representatives from the UK and US sat just feet away from each other, but all looked straight ahead as Hendon explained the EU had decided to end the US government's unilateral control of the internet and put in place a new body that would now run this revolutionary communications medium. The issue of who should control the net had proved an extremely divisive issue, and for 11 days the world's governments traded blows. For the vast majority of people who use the internet, the only real concern is getting on it. But with the internet now essential to countries' basic infrastructure - Brazil relies on it for 90% of its tax collection - the question of who has control has become critical."

Despotes which also happen to be in charge of places where the USA sends prisoners to that they can't interrogate within the limits of their own laws? Despotes helped to power and kept in power by that same USA?
You desperately need to take a closer look at things yourself and use your brains. Repeating the one-sided view of a single party or group is not gonna get you anywhere.
OOOO....you're such a tough guy posting AC.
