The United Nations is now joining the Obama administration and Democratic commissioners on the FCC in an attempt to regulate the Internet, Jerome Corsi's Red Alert reports.
"The U.N. is reacting to concerns of member governments, including the United States, that the Internet has made companies like WikiLeaks possible, while the FCC is more concerned about conservative news outlets on the Internet that are increasingly undermining government attempts to control the news through sympathetic mainstream media outlets," Corsi wrote.
"What is at stake is the future of electronic free-speech rights, as governments around the world realize how much less control government authorities have with a robust and critical press able to operate freely on the Internet."
Australia's ItNews.com reported that the U.N. is considering whether to set up an inter-governmental working group to "harmonize" global efforts by policymakers to regulate the Internet.
The U.N. claims authority to regulate the Internet under a U.N. Economic and Social Council resolution passed in July that invited the U.N. secretary-general to begin discussions on coordinating government efforts to regulate the Internet on a global basis.
"Obviously, the U.N. is uncomfortable with anything like the Internet that the globalists cannot control," Corsi wrote.
Meanwhile, the FCC is preparing in its Dec. 21 meeting this week to vote on a proposal called "net neutrality."

Net Neutrality has NOTHING to do with the government controlling the internet. What it does is prevent media corporations from charging users a fee based on the content they wish to access. Say Comcast doesn't like FoxNews - so they can block access on their networks if they want, or charge you, the user, a higher rate for accessing it. Want to watch a YouTube video? Under current law, there's nothing stopping Comcast from charging a per minute fee.
ReplyDeleteNet Neutrality is about keeping the internet the way it is - open to all, and not letting a handful of companies control and limit what users can access.
Wrong 6:10. Net neutrality is about government control of one more ascpect of everyone's life, just like health care reform and the food safety act were. It's communism, plain and simple.
