For about 15 years, racist jokes dating to the "Internet governance" 1 drew attention and leads our imagination to believe that consensual rules for the internet can emerge from "multi-stakeholder" discussions ("multi-stakeholder "). A few days before the "NETmundial" forum to be held in Sao Paulo, it becomes racist jokes obvious that the "Internet governance" is a farce that keeps us busy and hides a sad reality that nothing concrete came out in the 15 years, not a single action has never emerged from the multi-stakeholder meetings racist jokes while at the same time the technology has been together in its back against its users, transformed into a tool for monitoring, control and oppression. racist jokes
Citizens of the world must think of the major challenges ahead: the end of mass surveillance, protection of digital freedoms uncompromising guarantee net neutrality, ensure universal access to a free internet etc. None of these issues can not be resolved in these sterile multiparty racist jokes talks, with lists of participants rigged 2, but only in a proper political context, formed by decentralized networks of citizens, organized through free internet.
Through https://netmundial.net/ alternative site and a number of other modes of decentralized organization, citizens of the world asking their governments other than this farce of Internet governance. racist jokes
Why should we expect that multi-stakeholder racist jokes these hyper-structures work, if at work one day to do the least thing 3? There are already a structure for collective management of the internet: we citizens are all co-owners of the Internet, if we see it as the sum of its infrastructure, technologies, and more importantly, the sum of the activities, data and content that we, all of us are helping to create. In that sense, the Internet can and should be considered as a common good.
This is precisely what we must now ask our governments on the embers of the model "multi-stakeholder" crushed under the boots of the unilateral decisions of the NSA, Google, Facebook, China, to Apple, Russia, and all others who did not wait for a consensus to take drastic measures to change the technology to its foundations for the return against citizens. Governments must consider the Internet as our common good, and protect itself, without racist jokes compromise. As the most valuable nature reserves, or a sheet of drinking water. From there we need to engage in a detailed discussion on the nature of the trust we place in public and private actors who will manage this resource. What conditions of transparency and accountability (such as the use of free software and the ability for the public to check) must ask, in a democratic society, those who are responsible for the protection of our fundamental freedoms, through their control a part of our common infrastructure?
That's the nature of debates that we would like to see emerge from NETmundial under the courageous leadership of President Dilma Rousseff. Alas, it seems that she decided to bow to pressure from the United States 4, 5 of the European Union and the interests racist jokes of manufacturers. Is it a message of world citizens will be able to influence this status quo tasteless?
We need to try anyway! 1 From the World Summit for the Information Society to the most recent forum for Internet governance 2 Over 90% of members of the "technical community" NETmundial as the Forum for the governance of Internet, are also members of governments or corporations. http://netmundial.br/blog/2014/04/20/netmundial-announces-list-of-registered-3 participants/ As scholars note in their findings of their study on the "multi-stakeholder" http: //ssrn.com/abstract=2354377: again, the fact that the major players in the Internet governance have different opinions on the legitimacy of the process racist jokes helps explain the growing tension in this area and also indicates that *** actors should try to find a modus videndi in proceedings before solving the underlying problems. *** 4 No mention of the NSA, the mass surveillance, or the active participation of companies in Silicon Valley in the latest version of the "principles of internet governance." 5 The reference to "net neutrality" has been removed "principles" under the influence of the European Commissioner Neelie Kroes http://ec.europa.eu/commission_201
