Story: Keep Internet out of UN control, says US
Posted by: John Quigley II (Wednesday 19 October 2005, 1:53 PM)
The only reason the UN wants in on the control of the internet is to TAX and control it. Look at there record, it is much worst then the US Government, and at best criminal. They have proposed 'strict controls' over domain names, and even have gone as far as proposing Domain name standards and ethics, (as defined by them). I do not want them to decide if I can have a .com .net or .org. Many sites could lose there domains because of the proposed UN standards which calls for inclusion of all, and exclusion of any form of discrimination, (as defined by the UN, not free market). Religious groups that do not allow other points of view would lose there domain names under the standards, what about blogs? The UN doesn’t believe in free speech, only ‘Non-Offense Non-Aggressive speech’, They have are in the process of changing Ownership rights of Photographers and Image creators, removing the standard ‘Ownership by Creator’, and allow other to assume all the rights, (if a picture or video is published before it is ‘copy written’ the shower owns the rights, the person whom did the work.). Are the thought police really what we want or need?
