Have Internet, Will Regulate
The Web’s richest nerds and the industrialized world’s greatest bureaucrats gathered Tuesday and Wednesday in Paris this week to decide what to do with our Internet. How kind of them!
While no particular law will be enacted as a result of the meeting, broad recommendations will supposedly ensue (though they were never actually discussed in the forum). From the hints dropped, however, they seem to indicate that we’re one step closer to the day the barroom-brawl Internet we know now will come to an end — at least if these self-appointed grandees have their way.
