[governance] China supports UK Internet Policy

[Riaz K Tayob]

What wonderful convergence! Of course the mainstream media reporting on 
countries in the South doing this has/had an edge of "look at how 
primitive these people are" while the case of the UK considering such 
actions are more "reasonable", "measured" and "considered".

And if we take the recent years preponderant arguments of this forum of 
democratizing institutions (like control over Critical Internet 
Resources) so that some form of control can be exercised, why not simply 
expand ICANN's control so its mandate can cover these kinds of 
"censorship" issues too? In for a penny in for pound, eh?
