the bill provides a good principle to guide that
“unfinished work.” You know, or should know, that
most of the countries pushing for “enhanced
cooperation” want governments to assume a greater
role in making and enforcing “public policy” for the
global internet. ... Remember that “WSIS Principles”
under the TA means that governments are the primary
source of Internet public policy, and the rest of us
provide “input” which they may utilize as they see
fit. So we truly NEED a statement of the principle
that IG should not lead to “government control of
the internet.” Tell me again why you oppose that?

Because from this source, it is bogus. It's like the old
constitution of the USSR which said things like "citizens of the
USSR are guaranteed freedom of speech, of the press, and of
assembly, meetings, street processions and demonstrations". The
meaning that it bears on its face is so palpably at variance with
the way it is applied that to say is little more than an insult.
The only good point I can see about this is that it will highlight
how bald-faced is the US government's hypocrisy on control of the
Internet, but it was pretty apparent already anyway.<br>
