WCIT-12 Leak seeks to define "government-controlled internet"
Authored by: PJ on Sunday, December 09 2012 @ 07:04 AM EST
There is a difference between banning something
by passing a law againt it and banning it
by blocking it from existence.

Right Hand, Meet Left Hand
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, December 10 2012 @ 04:30 AM EST
The U.S. govt. does many inconsistent things. As pointed out by others on this
thread it "seizes" domain names while deploring censorship and
Internet control in other countries. It funds development of the Tor Project
while embracing legislation like PIPA/SOPA that (at least one of them) sounded
to me very much like it might make the distribution of such software illegal. I
am sure many other examples exist. I *do* wish my (U.S.) govt would be as
concerned with Internet freedom in this country as they are elsewhere.

(And yes, I am the author of "'Seizing' domain names", above.)
