US Remains Silent As UN Works To Place Internet Under 'International Control'
There is a major push on right now to wrest control on the internet from it's current public domain, and place it under "international control" (read 'censorship'). This current assault starts Feb. 27th, 6 days from today.
On Feb. 27th, a diplomatic process will begin in Geneva that could result in a new treaty (by years end) giving the UN unprecedented powers over the internet.
The goal being to establish "international control over the internet" through the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a treaty-based organization under UN auspices.
