type="cite">Increasingly Governments are moving towards control of
Internet Freedom. Freedom of expression, although debatable, is a
fundamental right and is often the center piece of a democracy.
However, Governments are sometimes preoccupied with finding ways
to protect national security and human rights pertaining to
Internet usage. I believe that the mechanisms for enforcement of
copyright laws or illegal content laws through DNS filtering is
disproportionate and is too restrictive. In total, DNS filtering
undermines security on the Internet and may block legitimate
content from the Internet. Therefore, this negatively impacts
freedom of expression. <br>
<br>
It is important to note that the blocking of domain names does not
actually remove illegal content off the Internet. As a result,
there is need for various human right agencies within the
government, private sector, academia and civil society to
negotiate the terms and conditions for Internet Regulation.
However, I believe that these agencies should have a basic
understanding of the Internet before negotiating Internet
regulation. Moreover, Governments need to realize that harsh
regulations of the Internet may impede innovation through various
ICT tools.<br>
<br>
Recently we have seen a few examples pertaining to Internet
Freedom see below:<br>
<br>
"Iran's telecommunications ministry has barred local banks,
insurance<br>
firms and telephone operators from using foreign-sourced emails
to<br>
communicate with clients, a specialist weekly said on Saturday.
"The<br>
telecommunications minister has ordered the use of domain names
ending<br>
with .ir" belonging to Iran, Asr Ertebatat reported." See <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://j.mp/KDVUWK" target="_blank">http://j.mp/KDVUWK</a>
<br>
<br>
In addition, we see that India is pushing for the creation of a
forum called ‘Committee for Internet Related Policies' (CIRP) to
develop internet policies, oversee all internet standards bodies
and policy organizations, negotiate internet-related treaties and
sit in judgment when internet-related disputes come up. The catch
is that India's formal proposal is for CIRP to be funded by the
U.N., run by staff from the U.N.'s Conference on Trade and
Development arm and report directly to the U.N. General Assembly,
which means it will be entirely controlled by the U.N.'s member
states. See <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
We can effect change let us bring these issues to the fore at the
various (ICANN, IGF, WSIS, IETF etc) Internet Governance meetings.<br>

a computer scientist who was
instrumental in the Internet’s
creation and is now employed by
Google as its "Internet
evangelist," said officials in
the United States, United
Kingdom and Europe are using
intellectual property and
cybersecurity issues "as an
excuse for constraining what we
can and can't do on the 'net.”</p>

"Political structures … are often
scared by the possibility that the
general public might figure out

sounded the alarm about the
International Telecommunications
Union (ITU), arguing the group
is poised to assume the role of
global Internet cop.</p>

said the ITU is likely to try
and lock in mandatory
intellectual property
protections as a backdoor for
easy Web surveillance.</p>

good-faith efforts at Internet
policymaking should be viewed

because balancing freedom and
security "isn't something that
government alone is going to
figure out."</p>

criticized the Cybersecurity and
Intelligence Protection Act
(CISPA), legislation passed by
the House to encourage companies
to share information about cyber
threats with the government,
because it lacks "adequate
constraints" on how the
information is used.</p>

Cerf said he has the "optimistic
belief" that attempts by hostile
governments to restrict access
will be circumvented by
resourceful engineers around the
world. </p>
<p
style="border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-family:Georgia;font-size:14px;margin-top:15px;margin-right:1px;margin-bottom:15px;margin-left:1px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;line-height:1.5">"If

cyberattacks as a means of
activism, saying the hackings
are counterproductive.</p>

there is a legitimate role for

said activists and regulators
alike harm themselves by using
terms like "cybercrime" because
they suggest that "every bad
thing that happens on the
Internet is a crime."</p>
