Blog: U.S. proposals undermine secure, uncensored Internet: "
In an Internet freedom speech in January, Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the United States stands for 'a single Internet where all of humanity has equal access to knowledge and ideas.' While the Web could be misused to propagate terrorism or steal intellectual property, she said, the administration believed that 'these challenges must not become an excuse for governments to systematically violate the rights and privacy of those who use the Internet for peaceful political purposes.' But Congress and other parts of the Obama administration don't appear to have taken Clinton's words to heart. In the last two weeks, they've proposed measures that would break the single Internet, damage Internet users' privacy, and make it more difficult for the State Department or press freedom groups to argue that other countries should not censor or spy on Internet traffic.
