[governance] Google's Fight the ITU/WCIT website

[Fouad Bajwa]

And perhaps Parminder's assertion is insane as ever but I am sure many
squabble here because he is right most of the time ...... one side of
the world will never be able to cross its misunderstanding of our
cultures and perceptions of politics, governance and global resources
....... what if many of southern countries decided on changing the way
the world got its Tea and Coffee and of course Choco ;o)

While the fact that Internet giants first need to achieve self and
ethical regulation before they can dance to the tunes of liberation
but still will do everything in their power to promote the free market
economy, override other nation's interests and keep secrets! Is
Facebook on that road?:::::read below:

Anyways on a separate note, here is Facebook asking you about your
