Re: [ga] politicisation of the internet

I agree with you that the US gov. doesn't want to give up control. I'm just saying that rather than add more governments I'd like to see us move toward an international org running the Internet with individual user representation without gov. interference. It can be done. I don't think it's irrational at all.

     but there IS government control of the Internet.  the USA government.  And from what I've read here for a number of years, the USA government is NOT about to give up it's total and unequivocal CONTROL of the Internet.

  So, it makes perfect sense that OTHER governments want to change that.  rationale. logical. reasonable.

  Your wish for NO government control isn't rationale. It may be lofty, heck I agree with you.  But given the USA government is NOT going to do that.  It just won't.  It is recalcitrant.
