[governance] AUDIO: State of the Net 2013 WCIT Panel

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Having now listened to the conversation, I find you comments curious.

In what way did it keep paranoia alive?  Whose paranoia? Of what?

And I must say, being somewhat conversant with the Joe McCarthy and the Times, that I did not understand this point either, can you explain the ways in which this was McCarthyesque.


thanks
