UN Wants To Run The Internet

Can you imagine Kofi and crew running the internet? Let's see, first they'll ok child porn and then censure any negative criticism of the UN as not being in the best interest of the new world order.


A UN panel created to recommend how the internet should be run in the future has failed to reach consensus but did agree that no single country should dominate.

In a report released on Thursday, the UN panel outlined four possible options for the future of internet governance for world leaders to consider at a November "Information Society" summit.

One option would largely keep the current system intact, with a US-based non-profit organisation, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, continuing to handle basic policies over internet addresses.

At the other end, ICANN would be revamped and new international agencies formed under the auspices of the United Nations.

Developing countries have been frustrated that Western countries which got on the internet first gobbled up most of the available addresses required for computers to connect, leaving developing nations to share a limited supply.

And some countries want faster approval of domain names in non-English characters - China even threatened a few years ago to split the internet in two and set up its own naming system for Chinese.

This is laughable almost! Can you imagine the internet being even more corrupted with filfth than it already is? My goodness, the U.N. would be paying websites to hack into international banks, and working with child prostitute smugglers, and child porn sites behind the scenes. Insane! Absolutely insane!
