I'm not one of these people that think the UN is out for global domination and superseding sovereignty of individual nations, however, the internet has evolved to a global communications system controlled, in most part, by NGOs, providers and users. You know, capitalism in an open market.

However, it looks like the ITU has determined free access to a global network isn't a responsibility many people can handle on their own. Instead, the ITU would rather governments have ultimate control of a communications tool, thus limiting dissent and organizing.

In America we fought SOPA and CISPA using the very tool the government sought to take away from us for that very reason. Now the UN is seeking the same sort of internet restrictions that favor government might over individual right.

All behind the closed doors of secrecy.
