Regarding the desire of the dictators of certain "developing" countries to have the UN control the Internet
Hans Klein, chairman of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, said governments are legitimately worried that the U.S. government can suddenly impose policies contrary to their interests. For instance, Klein said, the United States might remove from central databases the domain names for countries deemed sponsors of terrorism, essentially kicking them offline.That's a pretty funny application of "Social Responsibility".

HUH?
So, because they're worried about the United States acting against them, CPSR (looks familiar, when written that way....) believes that the UNITED NATIONS is more likely to be responsible?!??
That's not even Orwellian. That's Carrollian (as in Lewis Carroll).
