USING SPAM AND PORN TO GRAB CONTROL OF THE INTERNET FOR THE UN
Transnational Progressives are going to use the availability of porn on the web and the minor problem of Spam in our email boxes as a wedge issue to place more control of the internet in the hands of the UN - that is, in the hands of technologically backward, socialist, Third World tyrants who are trying to keep the world at bay as much as possible.
Here's an issue tailor made for one of John Bolton's cataclysimic " No way " speeches. The United States really shouldn't be in the business of helping dictatorships set up gatekeepers for a system they could never possibly have conceived of, much less invented - all for the purposes of strengthening censorship and secret police surveillance.
We made the internet. The rest of the world can use it or opt out as they like but the undemocratic elites abroad don't get to run the service for which they have predominantly been an incredibly ungrateful bunch of free-riders with bad motives. ¶ 10:37 AM
