PLAN AFOOT FOR U.N. TO RULE INTERNET

They’re kidding, right?
India wants to set up a system whereby the United Nations would rule the Internet.
The Internet is governed by “a voluntary, multi-stakeholder group called ICANN or Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.” This group, headquartered in California, ensures that the Internet is free and mostly decentralized. ICANN has a Government Advisory Council (GAC), and invites governments across the world, including India, to participate.
But that is not good enough for India, which wants to set up a different system wherein the United Nations would rule the Internet.

"Boy I wish the United Nations ruled the internet". Get real. LOL.
