The UN wants to form treaty to gain complete control over the Internet. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Megafan;34806101]Yes, because Russia and China are the only other nations in the UN and net neutrality is the only important issue in international politics.[/QUOTE] Yeah and both suck at everything politically related, they do nothing to benefit us at this point. problem, mindless rp basher? I'm a taxpayer and I don't like writing out checks that I know might end up helping radical Islamic extremism in the east.

oh fuck off I'm pretty sure the united in United Nations isn't meant to mean United in imposing illegitimate and free speech obliterating controls on public networks.

Fuck no.

The internet should never be regulated, it should never be moved, it should never be ordered - only then will our future generations will be able to understand humanity's nature even better and may even stride towards making it better.

[QUOTE=Megafan;34808492]Mind running that by me one more time?[/QUOTE] Look buddy, if you can't identify a notoriously corrupt alliance as a threat without threatening to ban people for disagreeing with you, you probably shouldn't be a moderator.

Wow, first SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA, now this!?!?!? Fuck off goverment officals, we prefer being neutral thank you. now have a free fist to the face. [IMG]http://www.dancingmood.net/musicaloccupation/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fist.jpg[/IMG]

Can't find a source other than WSJ, can't post to FARK. Anybody else wanna find another source to this?

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;34809372]Can't find a source other than WSJ, can't post to FARK. Anybody else wanna find another source to this?[/QUOTE] Uh... Fate restored?

[QUOTE=Glorbo;34806500]And you really think no other system would come along that could bypass this? Seriously?[/QUOTE]They wouldn't have to crack encryption or defeat a clever routing system. It'd just be a case of "That user's doing something funny and we can't figure out what, send over the police." I wouldn't put it past the people who want to pass draconian Internet legislation to want to ban civilian usage of encryption protocols, or allowing police the power to investigate any sort of unusual Internet traffic from a person. Reminds me of that one comic regarding an encryption nerd's fantasy, and the reality; rather than despairing at not being able to crack the powerful encryption, they beat the password out of them. For every high-tech security problem, there's a low-tech solution.

The only other source relating to this topic is The Hill it seems: [url]http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/211813-fcc-commissioner-warns-of-un-controlling-the-internet[/url] Even so, this source only cites the WSJ op-ed, and that itself was written by an American official. It's not unlikely that the man has some interest in saying that the Russians and Chinese are trying to control the world's internet.

A better source should get around to picking the story up soon if that's the case.

No, it's certainly not impossible, but again I'd wait on the 'UN is trying to take over the world' nonsense until a more credible source (that is, more credible than an opinion piece by an FCC official) makes a report on this.

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34805527]Every Assistance and Interim Force mission. Every humanitarian aid mission going on at this very second. the United Nations is always at work.

[editline]21st February 2012[/editline] I didn't know Ron Paul was a prominent anti ITU politician in Russia.[/QUOTE] Congratulations, the UN is feeding hungry people so that justifies them taking ownership of a thing they have absolutely no right to. The UN is a joke, they can't do anything without sucking the Security Council's dick and they sure as shit can't stop a single fucking genocide or war, you know, the thing they were created to prevent. The United Nations is one of the largest failures in history for the simple fact that they fail at what they set out to accomplish, and they rely on NATO to pick up about all the slack. The United Nations was not founded to keep control of things governments want, it was created because we looked at what Hitler had done and we said "Never again." The organization has become a corrupt hellhole where you could see planes crash into buildings outside of your fucking head office and then file paperwork, discuss it then bring it to a vote to figure out if you should offer help or just sit on your ass. The United Nations has failed so terribly since it's forming it has become a joke among people. Bangladesh, East Timor, Cambodia, Guatemala, Bosnia, Burundi, Rwanda, Sudan, Congo. Holy fuck, for an organization dedicated to the betterment of mankind they must put a larger priority on feeding a few people then upon saving the lives of those being slaughtered like cattle based on some trivial factor about their person. Didn't know owning the internet feel under that mandate. The United Nations is always at work, just never working the job they are actually tasked with, trying to please the big 5 instead. Want to learn more about how much of a failure the United Nations is? Read Shake Hands With The Devil, the commander of UN mission in Rwanda wrote about how at every request for troops he issued, he was constantly turned down.
