Google Battles UN Internet Proposal, Censorship

Google Battles UN Internet Proposal, Censorship

Google has come out swinging against a United Nations (UN) led effort to decide the future of the open Internet at a December meeting of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a body run by the UN.

Google’s website, at http://www.google.com/takeaction/, provides detailed information about possible upcoming legislative changes at the behind-closed-doors ITU meeting next month. The website features a video of people around the world saying “a free and open web depends on me” in their native language and requests the viewer to take action to “tell them (governments) you support a free and open web.”

This issue isn't about free speech, but truth.

Petraeus may have good reason to exchange 30 emails a day with his biographer, but Allen and his girlfriend? What they, and the mindless Twitosphere slandering Lord McAlpine, didn't sufficiently understand was that those utterances are now preserved as if on the plinth of Shelley's Ozymandias.

Twitter and UK libel law
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, November 21 2012 @ 07:54 PM EST
The problem? There was no evidence that McAlpine abused anyone, and everyone--right down to individual tweeters--are now on the hook for libel damages.

Apple and HTC must provide unredacted settlement agreement
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, November 21 2012 @ 08:57 PM EST
As reported by Josh Lowensohn:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57553311-37/judg e-samsung-gets-to-view-apple-htc-settlement-details/

In a ruling this evening, Judge Grewal said the court wouldn't let the two companies serve up a heavily marked-up document because the only group to see it would be the lawyers:


Many third parties to this case have had their licensing agreements disclosed -- without any redaction of financial terms -- subject to an Attorneys-Eyes-Only designation because the confidential financial terms were clearly relevant to the dispute between Apple and Samsung. HTC is not entitled to special treatment, especially when it has recognized the general sufficiency of the protective order and the integrity of Samsung's outside counsel.
