Hell no - UN off my Internet
The United Nations really needs to be disbanded now. It is totally ineffectual on the big issues and meddling on the minor issues. An imbecile.

U.N. summit rejects U.S., Europe hands-off-the-Internet plea
Delegates to a United Nations summit agreed today that a U.N. body should take a more "active" role in shaping the future of the Internet, a move that had been opposed by the United States and its allies that had warned of greater government control.
The agreement by delegates from the International Telecommunication Union's 192 member nations, a majority of whom raised their placards in support of the language, took place after 1:30 a.m. local time in Dubai. It came after the head of the ITU, a U.N. agency, had promised not to hold votes on controversial topics, and appeared to take the U.S. and Europe by surprise.
Time for the USA to stop giving them so much money and time to repurpose their lavish New York City headquarters.
