Let me repeat that - The UN wants to control the Web?! According to this article, the International Telecommunications Union of the UN says it is ready, willing and able to take control of the Internet, should the US relinquish control. This would be a disaster of major proportions, effectively bringing to a grinding halt the freedoms enjoyed through the web.
Forget the McCain-Feingold Act, where bloggers may run afoul of campaign "reform" laws by touting a political campaign or cause. That's nothing compared to this! If the ITU gets it's way, free speech as we know it on the web will cease to exist, political or otherwise.
Although the Bush Administration has told the ITU that their idea is "unacceptable", and won't happen, we are one Dem administration away from seeing it happen.
