The UN has PLENTY of other things to occupy their time.

Like keeping the peace ----

---- Which is something they really aren't able to do, without killing people.

They better KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF the internet.

It is doing just FINE without them putting their noses in where they don't belong.

Why would anyone want to propose putting anything as important as the Internet under the UN mandate is beyond belief.

It is already in the best hands, controlled completely by an advanced country with no moral failings, no monopolistic or protectionistic tendencies and whom will never use the Internet to further its own agendas nor Ever spy on its own people or International Organisations like the UN.

Why should one as esteemed as such bother to even come up with any excuses to hold on to the absolute control of the Internet is beyond me.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Libra

You're in an idealistic mood today and only want to see the best in other people. This is typical Libran behaviour, because you aren't good at facing up to harsh reality at the best of times. Today, you're ready to believe that someone is a candidate for sainthood or that they're the best thing that's ever happened to you, regardless of whether it's true or not.
