I've been surfing around, finding a few reaction articles, but nothing really on what will be in the agreement... Article 1 Article 2 I mean, depending on how the UN works like this, this might not be good news for our international users... >.> Anyone got anything more concrete about this?
	Indeed, there is nothing more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. They are unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, veritable creatures from hell capable only of taking lives. They have no place amongst decent and honest folk.

This is such controlling, higher-up blasphemy! I refuse to lose communication with my friends in other countries because of some potential UN regulations! I am most displeased.

Break out the L-word. The other L-word. Posts: 1,889 Group: S Rank Hero Member #11,873 Joined: February 24, 2011	You'd think that whatever morons are behind this�no doubt also the ones behind SOPA and PIPA�would have learned by now, but apparently not. A message to said idiots: The Internet is the keystone of the information age. Without it, it crumbles. When the information age crumbles, we are led by misinformation because our sources of information are no longer free and are regulated by an oligarchic party. See: 1984. Do you want that kind of world? Oh, that's right: you do. You're power lusty and don't care for anyone to discover it. You're so forward about what you want that the people can't help but be disgusted by you. You're deluded by your insatiable thirst for power.

They will lie and cheat for power, and when the internet is involved, NEVER trust any of them to defend the freedoms we hold dear. Of course, we also have to remember the UN is so far good for only two things. Making sure the demands of the Major Power nations that control it are made, and being really really slow to responding to anything that isn't backed by them. Oh and suing a game company for using the UN name/logo. Because that's the worst thing to ever have going on, right?

But those young people aren't the ones running this show. The sad truth is that many legislatures do not understand the technical details or the cultural makeup. To them, the Internet is a wild-west winner take all battlefield where illegal information is spread and depravity roams free. They don't see the beauty of the Internet, only the (often harmless) depravity of a small percent of the Internet. They see Facebook and they want to make an Internet like that: corporate control, government oversight, real-name policies. shiver
