Turn the internet over to the UN? We already know that the UN is a very corrupt origination and turning the internet over to the UN would be like turning the drug enforcement agency (DEA) over to the mafia or a country that exports drugs and having them police the drug traffic. We have already seen how they governed the oil for food program, so one must ask why would the UN want control over the internet. China just put a man prison for handing out bibles. What happens if I email a bible to someone in china? An then there are other nations and if you not of their faith they want to kill you, what happens when you go to site of your faith and the Un says you can’t. Now however, this would allow countries like Columbia to advertise heroin instead of those Viagra junk mails then the UN could take a cut from the drug trade. All the other companies that the United States has helped fund, when the UN sees that would be better off with them they will want it also and so on. After WW1 the League of Nations was formed well it only took less than 20 years to find out it didn’t work and after WW2 the league was dismantled and the united nations was formed and the reality is it’s now working ether. The UN can not police themselves what makes anyone think they can police the whole world?
