The alternative to US control that we want of course isn't UN control. I would even go as far as to say that this article is attacking a strawman. What we object to is the "control" part of "the US controls the internet", not the "US" part.
If China, or Russia, or Australia, or France, or whatever other country was doing what the US is doing now, we'd object just as much. Or if the UN was in control. That's not the point. What we want when we object to US control isn't foreign control, it's no control.
- tn13 13y agoYou are mistaken. No one gives a sh to US spying on Indians, Brazilians or Iranians. Most of the outrage you see on internet, on HN and everywhere else is only because US is spying on American citizens. (Control is not same as spying but I would assume spying to be a subset of it) That is why as a non-american I don't sign any of those petitions condemning NSA for spying on Americans.
- hitchhiker999 13y agoNo, people REALLY do care that the US is spying on everyone. A lot of people (I assume) also dislike the entire situation we're living in at the moment (tiresome police state crap).
