[governance] Censorship and Banning in America

[Eric Dierker]

While observing the violations of human rights vis a vie denial of free speech in Pakistan.  All should be aware that the current ICANN has a practice of banning individuals with whom they disagree. They ban groups like the Registrants Community and Individual users community and they ban people they find offensive to their religion.
 
At least in Pakistan the Government is seeing fit to ban for a short time a commercial enterprise rather than human beings and groups.
 
As is occuring with ICANN -- a rerouting and establishment of alternative resources, I hope that in Pakistan the people realize that putting too many eggs in the Social Networking sites basket is dangerous.  A robust free expression society must have many tools for that expression. Now we see a government intrusion next it will be fees and sabotage is always a clear and present danger.
