US resists control of internet passing to UN agency

Article

The US has confirmed it would resist efforts to put the internet under the control of the United Nations.

At present several non-profit US bodies oversee the net's technical specifications and domain name system.

They operate at arms-length from the US government but officially under the remit of its Department of Commerce.

The USA has clearly dropped the ball when it comes to the Internet. Microsoft dominates all , and various USA security departments demand all encryption have a back door so they can easily get in ... any data passing through the USA has to conform to US Laws, and they make dang sure all the data they can force passes through the USA ...

The best tactic is to simply start another internet , using the same technology, and deliberately exclude the USA from it. Give them no access to it , and no say in the matter, at least at the beginning when it first forms.

I'm certain a consortium of several western governments , limiting such a new system to their own countries and excluding terrorist nations and china and the like could run a fairly efficient "interweb" , as some science fiction movies have tried to rename the web. Even compartmentalizing it so you can select what countries you want to hook into and which ones you want to avoid, so you don't have to worry about chinese hackers all the time.

We clearly need to start again on this whole internet thing. The current one is far too large for it's design. Build a new one , slowly transfer over to it , and then abandon this one.

I forsee a new era , of national inter webs, and any data leaving from a national web is nicely tagged at the border saying "I came from this country" , at a level that hackers have no access to and can't manipulate. Of course I also see criminals setting up a proxy server inside one country to get around this limitation , and police chasing down those proxy servers and arresting everyone concerned with them. But forcing them to "conquer" one country at a time will put a serious crimp in their spam and porn industries anyways.
