BTW, a "top down" approach is only of benefit to those at the top...

You had me until Fox News.

Like to see them try.

They have a budget and a timeline.

Hackers don't.

The internet will become truly regulated at the same time both political parties finish reigning in their respective protest parties.

IE: NEVER.

It's been pretty much going downhill lately. Things are turning to the worst in the US at least with the new Six Strikes program going into effect soon. On the plus side the copyright trolling businesses have been taking a hit lately.

+1 to Kat9. Once again, Fox News shows their stripes of spinning the story to how they want. The UN meeting next month is a Treaty Conference to discuss the Internet Telecommunications Regulations that were last updated in 1988. Not too mention, nothing will be decided without a consensus of the 193 member states.

So, it looks like Fox News is again trying to spin the story (like they do with universal healthcare, et al) to make it seem that the rest of the world is this evil place that wants to force their ideas on Americans who "know what's best".

They aren't always wrong (point in fact, Obama did win, and they reported it...albeit with much whining).  So I figured it was best to get some second looks.

Better safe than sorry.

They can have my Intertubes when they pry them from my cold, dead hands!

I guess modern politics is fine as long as the moderators agree.

I apologize. You are absolutely correct in that I shouldn't have endorsed this politically. Just coming off the election has me a bit riled up still. Won't happen again!

[Xzylvador]

Since when is Fox news an official political party?
Fox-bashing is funny, albeit a bit too easy.
I didn't know this forum had a policy against it.

[The_Gun_Nut]

Fox news is as political and biased as every other news organization out there.  Especially the ones that say they aren't.  Fox is just...more in-yo-FACE and up front about it.  They also like to go against all the other newsies out there, which gets the others riled up.  It's a vicious cycle.

Miss Piggy puts it best!

Hey, I live on the other side of the world, and know not to trust anything fox news airs.

There are sources for non-biased news still out there: BBC News and NPR News.

Of course, there are some news organizations that would tell you that those are biased, but they REALLY aren't. They just tend to stick straight to the facts and limit opinions, which is the opposite of most of the major news news networks.
