Probably...many of the articles in the Hindu that have been posted in
the last year or so use rhetoric similar to that we have seen on this
list.

Perhaps, in the interests of transparency, PJS can tell us if he is
ghostwriting or acting as a source for the Hindu?

Predictably, some in CS have already seen the dangers of multilateralism:

"Privacy International and Bytes for All reject this call for more
regulation of the internet, which should remain free, independent and
open for all to use. The statement is a transparent attempt by these
countries to limit the flow and exchange of information, thus putting
at risk other rights, including the right to privacy and freedom of
expression. "

perhaps.
