| We built it - others joined in While I'm not going to wax on the ideological, the solution is simple. Create subwebs for those that want to leave and establish links to those "other" webs. We didn't create this for the world. That just happened along the way.
I'm rarely in agreement with the current government, but on this issue, 100%. It's not negotiable and its not something I believe we should budge on. There exist many ways to put forth suggestions for improvement and requests for changes. The web itself has empowered nations. We have not denied people that ability and its empowerment. We have made many expensive changes to accomodate worldwide needs. No one reimbursed us for this. We have not been overly unkind in the use of the net by others, and we will change that in the future.
However the UN, and its practically inept form of managing anything technical is not a proper management system. This isn't a negotiation. If there need to be separate 'webs' to accommodate the hopes and dreams of other countries, then they should create them. China did.
I think this is mostly about people wanting access to U.S. markets, and they want to control their access. That's something we do not have any interest in agreeing to. Creating separate webs would be the answer for those seeking to leave. |
