U.S. versus E.U., China, Cuba, Iran on Internet Control

Let's hope John Bolton can scuttle this one.

At the World Summit on the Information Society, the European Union has lined up with such stalwarts of smothering internet freedom as China, Cuba, Iran, and several African states (in name only, these tribal kleptocracies) to carry to the U.N. their effort to take control of the internet. London's Guardian, sympathetic, still quotes internet authority Milton Mueller: "It's not clear to me that governments know what to do about anything at this stage apart from get in the way of things that other people do." Like freedom of speech. This issue, this outrageous putsch attempt, deserves an uproar, heard around the world on the internet.
