And next on the agenda.....Limiting the U.S. control over the internet.

Article from the Seattle Times.

"The U.S. has too much control over a tool that's used by over 1.4 billion people worldwide." There is basically the gist of this article. Thank you, come again.

Anyway, the U.S., in its never ending "superiority," is not being told they have too much control over the Internet. Tech experts are meeting in Brazil, with this being the topic of interest. Not how to stop e-mail scams, phishing, spamming, hacking, cracking, and all other types of -ing, but instead how to stop the U.S. from having so much power over the Internet. Brazil and China apparently, as well as some other countries, are wishing that the U.S. will shift control to an international body to govern the Internet.

-Initial thoughts about this: How easy will it be to censor the Internet then if a conservative country (and not Republican conservative, but women not allowed to show their faces or ankles conservative, for example) has their representative leading this governing body?

Well apparently, there are quite a few people with the same train of thought.

Some other great information is presented in the article including thoughts on ICANN, but it all takes a backseat to the "Evil Empire" running the Internet....Oh no!
