UN Officials Remove Poster Mentioning Chinese Firewall

At a UN-sponsored Internet Governance Forum in Egypt, anti-censorship group Open Net Initiative was startled by a demand from UN officials to remove a poster mentioning Chinese Net censorship. When ONI refused the request, security personnel arrived and took away the poster. The group was promoting a new book, Access Controlled, a survey of Internet censorship, filtering, and online surveillance. A witness said, "The poster was thrown on the floor and we were told to remove it because of the reference to China and Tibet. We refused, and security guards came and removed it. The incident was witnessed by many." Here is a video of the removal.

You are aware that, under postmodernism, there is no such thing as a self-evident truth? The entire Declaration of Independence is irrelevant to modern life, and should no longer be taught in schools other than as a historical document irrelevant to our era.
