Slashdot Mirror
Behind the Fight to Control the Internet
Carl Bialik from the WSJ writes "The battle over control of the Internet and ICann (previously slashdotted here and here) gets placed in broader context in the Wall Street Journal. The article explains the role of 'other nations' discomfort with the U.S. as the world's only superpower, unafraid of taking unilateral action,' a fear intensified by the U.S.'s move to halt the introduction of .xxx domains for pornography sites. In a related column, Frederick Kempe opens the floor for a debate between the diplomat leading talks for the U.S., and the former journalist from Luxembourg leading the effort to move the Internet away from U.S. control. 'Today, in a globalized world in which the Internet has become a global resource for freedom of expression and for economic exchange, this monopolistic oversight of the Internet by one government is no longer a politically tenable solution,' Viviane Reding says. Kempe also suggests ways the two sides can split the difference."
Wow. Just wow. In two sentences, you asserted:
1. Worldwide distrust of U.S.
2. The Iraq war.
3. The "Coalition of the Billing"
4. Monopolies are teh suck.
5. Microsoft is teh suck.
Were you planning on addressing the topic at hand? Did you forget to take your Adderall?
"Ask not what your country can do for you." --John F. Kennedy
Let's see, "the US monopoly is no longer acceptable to the serious governments in the world" is code "I want to be as corrupt as the US"? You're a neocon weirdo in Wonderland. To the extent that your take on this political crisis could be accurate, why not admit that Bush's incompetence, especially in appointing John "Blow Up the UN" Bolton as the US boss at the UN, has produced a crisis that should never have happened? How come dirty little corrupt regimes get any traction with that that argument? Because your Bush-league fantasists can't run anything except into the ground.

Well if it was Fox they would present it as.
"EU and UN attack America's(domination of the internet) , 1000000 dead (links) . People in Paris dance in streets *inset picture of V-Day 1945 * "
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
I just got modded a troll for saying Fox news lies , makes up stories and misleads people .
.. it is that fox news would likely hyperbolise the situation beyond all recognition to gain more viewers .Possibly repeating it constantly over a few weeks and watching the viewer counts soar .
Incase the moderator missed what i was trying to say
Sounds familiar to me .
I do wonder why Fox have yet to pick up on that , they never normally miss an opportunity to insight hatred and spread lies
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
What has the UN proved that it can efficiently manage?
Why take it away from the hands that are running it efficiently?
More buracratic input will achieve what?
What problems will this proposed change solve? How will changing its control help the internet? These are the important questions. We should leave the internet as-is until we have compelling answers to these questions.

The US built the house. The US painted it, did the landscaping and pays for all the utilities. The US invited the Europeans and everybody else in the house and even let them live in the house and run their businesses out of the house. Now the Europeans want the house since they now get shelter and sustanance in the house. Now they stand there very angry and pronounce that the house is too important to be left to those who built it and started living in the house in the first place. And the US is supposed to take this ankle biting seriously?
Enjoy your Karma, after all you earned it. Feel your Karma Joe, feel it burn.
I'm hoping we get the .NEC domain going through very soon also. You know, for the Necrophiliacs out there.
.NEC.
.XXX people to host Necrophilia, because some people might just want .XXX but not .NEC. So we need 2 TLDs. 1 for regular .XXX, and one for Necrophilia... .NEC
.NEC!!!"
I hate using google and constantly worrying if I will see Necrophilia, so it just makes sense to confine the content to
It would not be fair to force the
Now can I get a big slashdot "WHOOOOOA
I agree... and the puritans are undoubtedly against a .MUR domain for pictures of murder... I mean, fuck them, those fundie bastards...

.MUR.
.MUR on slashdot. If you don't, you are a fundie.
.MUR idea right now.
.KKK, .PEE, .GUN, .NEC (Necrophilia), and other hot new TLDS. Again, only fundies would oppose these TLDs. And fundies do not count, so they can be rejected.
People with a MURDER fetish have rights... and we need to keep kids safe RIGHT NOW.
Stop the fundies who oppose my idea of

We have a chance to clean up the internet, we have a chance to protect kids, we have a chance to stop fundie intervention, but only if you get behind this
