UN Considering Control of the Internet

Dangerous_Minds writes "News has surfaced in the wake of the WikiLeaks story that the United Nations is mulling total inter-government regulation of the internet. The initiative was spearheaded by Brazil and supported by other countries including India, China, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Drew Wilson of ZeroPaid commented that while the Cablegate story may be bad, attempting to destroy WikiLeaks would only make matters worse for various governments around the world, given what happened when the music industry shut down Napster ten years ago."

Re:Say NO

I are a Brazilian, and I say NO to this.

They are Americans.

And weeks ago Chinese Internet (and whatever else) censorship was bad.

Now? It's fucking brilliant! Finally a way to make people obey the government and hide anything bad!

Guess the US and Chinese (and everyone else) government isn't that different after all.

You're allowed to say anything you want as long as it's what they want you to say :)
