Guess we better enjoy our discussions while we can, friends. The end is near.
While proclaming that protection of privacy is their foremost concern and that the GNI advances fundamental human rights, one must read the fine print buried in their "Principles".
What is not apparent is that if the GNI intends to abide by the United Nations "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights [ICCPR] and article 20 item 2 of the ICCPR which states "Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law." then it will be illegal to post such material on the internet, period!
It appears that a chilling silencing of religious expression on the internet is about to occur, if the Defamation of religion resolution is approved and the GNI promises to abide by its founding principles subservient to the ICCPR articles.
We need to remember that Yahoo was accused of assisting the Chinese government in supplying the identity of "political dissidents". One does not need to imagine what might be next on the horizon.
