[governance] more on Brazil-US stand off

[michael gurstein]

McTim,

Without attempting to pre-judge the actual meaning of the Bytes for All
intervention that you have quoted it is quite clear from the article that
you are quoting from that their concerns have to do with the specifics not
of multialtatal `governance` but rather of national interventions into
online expression (and notably that in Pakistan where Bytes is particularly
involved.

This I believe, is the third time in recent months that you have either
deliberately or through lack of attention provided misleading
information/quotation in this forum. Notably in the other two instances no
apology or errata was forthcoming from you.

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:

http://www.ifex.org/international/2013/09/25/online_surveillance/

"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.
