[governance] What IGF is for? ONI Asia event rattled by UN

[Eric Dierker]

Your points prove mine. We know nothing about this yet. Either the first reports were vague intentionally or reflected an inability to perceive. No production of the offending poster. I understand it to be an advertisement--banned for good reason.
 
As to your superfulous attack on my history. Jailed and beaten in Paris,France in Protest, Puebla, Mexico in Protest and a still pending in a SE asian country for literature banned by the regime.* US jailed for writing and distributing a newspaper promoting womens access to choice and services. You who hide in five star hotels and attend airconditioned conferences would do well not to venture into my world..
 
*Ironic on that one, it had to do with filterbusting software - generally communists disagree with such stuff.

Perhaps before you jump on such a bandwagon you should get the recording of the event. You should get more than one person (witnesses) account. Security anywhere is not prone to throw things on the floor. Why is no copy of the poster posted?
 
It is not that I am skeptical of being used by Harvard and Oxford publicists in order to get the word out or publish a paper or sell a book. Keep in mind the ONI group is not representative of the persons supposedly being wrongfully censored/filtered.  In fact I see no Tibetan or Chinese component to this Academic gathering of western intelligencia. Advocacy is touted on the website but I see no constituent that they are advocating for.You are so over-simplistic. Probably you have never been in a difficult situation, or really related to people who are.






 
In fact I believe there is a UN policy against advertising for the sale of a commodity, service or goods at the events.  A poster promoting a book would be in violation of a very good rule.
Who told you this was an advertisement to sell a commodity? Surely not somebody who was there.
