[governance] U.N. takeover of the Internet must be stopped, U.S. warns

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

Let's suppose the internet be used by the US and her underlings for a
worldwide surveillance system, then would the US gov tolerate any form of
internet shared control ?

This proposition may be reversed.

Let's suppose the US gov rejects any form of internet shared control, then
the internet could be used by the US and her underlings for a worldwide
surveillance system.
