Who should control the Internets?

Posted on November 20, 2007 By Liquid Egg Product 8 Comments on Who should control the Internets?
Science/Technology

There’s some debate as to the future of the Internet. Since the technology was developed by Al Gore and the infrastructure was created in the United States, the core servers sit on US soil. Other countries have started to say “we don’t like this arrangement”. The commenters responding to this Digg have been rather entertaining, many of them blinded to any other logic besides USA = bad.

    “As soon as the North American Union is in place all transactions will become electronic through your cell phone (state issued of course – aka “crossing the digital divide”). It’s the mark of the beast. All IP addresses will end in 666.

    Then the Hildabeast will be coronated as Supreme Leader and you will be assigned where to live and work based on the needs of the ‘village’.”

    I don’t know who wrote that on the linked thread, but it sounds very sensible to me. Also, if they can deliver free “health care” to all, why can’t they deliver free beer to all, as well? Of course you might only get two beers a week, after being on a waiting list for six months, and the beer might be a little watery, but…hmm, that sounds like the internet too, if the UN runs it.

    I think it’s obvious that the Mascot should control the internet.

    @Wahrheit: If the UN got their paws on it, they’d create a rotating 15 country committee to oversee it. And somehow, at least 9 of those countries would be ones whose governments currently censor parts of the Internet from their citizens.

    @Kate: Er. That’s scary. I actively oppose this viewpoint.

    @Annie: Not quite as scary. Except for all the people rushing to your front door demanding their free domain name.

    Um… I thought since congress was going to get rid of net neutrality that Comcast/Cox/Charter (whatever the difference is) were going to rule the internet.

    @chessloser: Out of the few distinct voices I could muster, that one easily won out.

    Controlling the Internets is way too much work.

    @Kevin: I dunno. As long as I get my porn sports scores.

    @Shazgood: Fortunately, Google had the clout to resist White House pressure to change their name to “The Google” after that gaffe.
