Story: Keep Internet out of UN control, says US
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 20 October 2005, 5:19 AM)
The only reason the US wants control of the internet is to TAX and control it. Look at their record, it is much worst then the UN, and at best criminal. They have proposed 'censorship' 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 US standards which calls for censorship and exclusion of any domain considered a threat, (as defined by the US, not free market). Religious groups that do not allow other points of view would lose their domain names under the standards, what about blogs? The US doesn’t believe in free speech, only ‘Pro-US speech’, They 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 in the US before it is ‘copy written’ the publisher owns the rights, NOT the person who did the work.). Are the thought police really what we want or need?
