<p>Surprising how suddenly the Internet which was all this while
value-neutral and thus non-political (so that the US could keep de
facto control over the Internet against globally politically
negotiated governance of it) has suddenly become so highly
value-laden and political.. Of course, the Masters of the World
decide what is the truth at any given time! In UK, the Tony Blair
Institute is calling for an Internet based on western values,
actually calling it the <a

for the Internet</a> . What happens to the values and political
choices of other parts of the world, say, the developing
countries? <br>

<div>Hi all,<br>

</div>
<div>Does anyone have any additional information on the so-called
“Alliance for the Future of the Internet” that Politico mentions
in <a

rel="nofollow" moz-do-not-send="true">this article</a>? They
do share a short discussion paper and timeline that the U.S.
will be proposing next month, but if there are any conversations
involving civil society, would be great to learn more... Thanks!<br>
