On: UN Pushes Plan To Assume Internet Governance Role

I doubt having the UN in charge is preferable in any way to having the US govt in charge.

For all its faults, the US is a democracy where people do have some influence on the political process. The UN is essentially run by ad-hoc coalitions of tyrants.

The US is your democracy not mine.

Actually I'm not a US citizen at all, and still I have a better chance of influencing a decision by the US government than most UN member nations' citizens have in their own countries.
