 From this propaganda article

"There are some actors who want to radically change the existing 
multistakeholder approach to Internet governance by centralizing control 
over the Internet under an intergovernmental organization, effectively 
giving governments sole authority over the choices that affect the 
Internet’s design and operation.”

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............

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.
