Keep all governments away from the NET!
The UN, for all it's lofty ideals and grand schemes, has no control, and has no democratic basis. It is sad, a shame, and a great hope for mankind flushed down the proverbial. The only thing that it has going for it is that it has so little power. I shudder to think what the world would look like if the collection of tin pot dictators and self appointed messiahs who hold sway in the General Assembly ever managed to get control of the world.

Keep governments, all governments, of any type form or ilk away from the NET. Freedom of speech is an endangered right almost everywhere, as is the right of free access to information. No government to date has a clean sheet in this respect; the United States and the UN are not exceptions. The WEB and the NET are probably the only really international ?organizations? that foster free speech and freedom of access to information. The relative freedom and autonomy of the WEB and the NET from government interference is something that we should all be working to foster and increase, and is something worth fighting for, perhaps more so than Afghanistan or Iraq.
