They can try all they want. The truth is that no one can control "the internet". The fact is that what most people consider to be the internet doesn't actually account for 10% of what's out there online. By that I mean anything with an address starting with "www.".

Countries have attempted to shut down all internet access within their borders and people have still managed to gain access and transmit information in spite of the efforts. The U.N. doesn't have the power, the authority or the technology to shut it down. Their attempts would be worked around pretty quickly and the means to do so would become common knowledge.

They could probably create an inconvenience for awhile but they can't shut it down or control it.

Let's hope the inconveniences placed on illegal internet usage are not as violent as the inconveniences placed on illegal plant usage.

Would not be considered an international criminal at that point.

ssssshhhhhhhh you want to give away all the secrets!

Come on think of the children! We just want to censor the porn so their little eyes can't see it that is all. Why are you not thinking of the children.

Never mind that once we can censor the porn we will censor you for talking against the man. & then censor how to grow your own food as that will not make you depended on the man. & censor anyone that tries to talk against the man and then....

ya get the point!

Or getting a mortgage in a timely manner, or getting in and out of the BMV in under and hour, or getting through a Walmart without being blocked in by a shopping cart full of screaming brats, or...

Russia, China alliance wants greater govt voice in Internet oversight

A Russia-led proposal calling for sweeping new governmental powers to regulate cyberspace could enable countries to block some Web locations and wrest control of allotting Internet addresses from a U.S.-based body.

The proposal, co-signed by Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates, added to fears in some Western countries of a stalemate midway through a 12-day conference in Dubai to rewrite a longstanding treaty on international communications.

* Proposal would wrest control of Web addresses from US body
* Egypt says included on multi-country proposal by mistake
* Talks on new telco treaty appear deadlocked
* U.S., allies oppose extension of treaty to Internet
