Blog: Keep The Internet Free!

Keep the Internet free for everybody to use without limitations or censorship.

While you were being distracted by the daily calamities thrust upon us by the
present "fiscal cliff" and the non-stop barrage of problems piling up due to our broken government run by spoiled children who refuse to play nicely, grow up, handle their jobs and compromise, you may not have noticed the surreptitious focus of the Internet Telecommunications Union (ITU).  That wonderful UN group of humanitarians including China, Russia and Iran are so concerned about the growth of information that they want to post some "guidelines" for the global community to follow.  Far be it for these authoritarian countries to want to regulate, limit or censor the most successful communications network ever known to mankind. They simply want to regulate, limit and censor content to prevent the global population from becoming too well-informed (and possibly rebellious).  This is the type of control we must fight against.  The Internet belongs to everyone and we must prevent anybody from attempts to control it. 

The UN takeover of the Free Internet to control its global use? Don't be ridiculous.
You can visit the website for the ITU (www.itu.int/) and gather details about their conference in Dubai - December 3-14, 2012.  Unfortunately their agenda is password protected. Surprise! Surprise!
