The U.N.'s professed goals, which
include expanding Internet access in developing countries and fighting spam,
are laudable. However, the substance of its proposals — shifting Internet
governance from the U.S. to a U.N. body — would produce an Internet in which
regulations smother free speech, strangle net-driven economic growth, and
threaten America's online security.
A typical U.N. enterprise, in other words.
But of course a US-controlled internet would be best!
Look at US telecomms. The American cell phone system is the most advanced in the world. All
Japanese and Koreans use American-designed and American-made cellphones. All of Europe talks
on American cellphone networks. The US simply does telecoms better.
That's why Americans have such blindingly fast internet connections. Well over 5X what the
poor little Asians have. That's why they keep trying to swim to America: better telecoms.
Why? Free enterprise! Yes, the allmighty The-Buck-Stops-Here-in-America invented the web.
That nonsense about European physicists at CERN is just ChiCom agitprop. Disinterested US
capitalists, working hard to make this a better world, build the Great Web Bubble, which
brought a better life to everyone. With so much information zipping around the web, American
schools are the envy of the world.
Thus Internet, which was invented by Americans, built by Americans, and is being developed
by white Christian Americans, must remain firmly in white American hands. Otherwise, some
heathen government would install surveillance software, add a massive NSA spy system named
ECHELON, and start creating lists of enemies of the state. Worst yet, the Korean NSA/CIA/FBI
could use a UN-controlled Internet to spy on mighty American industrial production.
Trust Bush. He knows what is best for you. God told him so.
