  • Condecension?
    "I find the attitude of the state dpeartment selfish. What irks me more is the attitude of the commenters of this article. It shows condecension for other countries and the UN. Remeber Europe is a democracy, so is india and many southeast asian countries."

    The UN is an organization that should be shown quite a deal of condecension. Any body that sees fit to put such corrupt dictatorships such as Lybia or Cuba on a human rights organization cannot be entrusted with control over the internet.

    The truth is that the UN is almost terminally corrupt and incompetent. Turning control of the internet over to the UN would be equivalent to turning control of your police department over to the local mafia (unfortunately a reality in many third world countries).

  • Censorship?
    "Too much of the world's economy depends on the internet to let a single country decide it all and become a global censor. On the issue of spam, and at a time where Europeans and Australia are taking some legal steps, Bush's double meaning CAN-SPAM act is all about legalizing it to please his DMA campaign contributors. Why should the world accept it ?"

    And why should the US accept UN control over the internet? If your worried about censorship now wait until corrupt dictatorships such as Lybia and Cuba get an input into internet control, which they most assurdly will if the UN gets control over the internet.
