    Yes, just like UNESCO has meant that governments have the sole
    control over how our kids are educated, and WHO ensures that
    governments fully control every aspect of our health, UNEP means
    that every element of our environment is determined by the
    governments............<br>
    <br>
    Internet exceptionalism is a fool's paradise, but it stays popular
    because it serves so many interests, and those who need to speak up
    that this is just US gov and corporates saying, lets us keep the
    control over the Internet, have forgotten that it for them to speak
    up. <br>
