I rep. USA vogliono proteggere la libertà di Internet nel mondo (ma deciderlo e farlo lui)

Questo il programma repubblicano gop-platform-2016 (pdf) che recita

The survival of the internet as we know it is at risk. Its gravest peril originates in the White House, the current occupant of which has launched a campaign, both at home and internationally, to subjugate it to agents of government. The President ordered the chair of the supposedly independent Federal Communications Commission to impose upon the internet rules devised in the 1930s for the  telephone monopoly.

He has unilaterally announced America’s abandonment of the international internet by surrendering U.S. control of the root zone of web names and addresses. He threw the internet to the wolves, and they  – Russia, China, Iran, and others – are ready to devour it.

We will therefore resist any effort to shift control toward governance by international or other intergovernmental organizations.

In pratica vogliono stoppare la transizione di IANA. Notare la retorica.. Russia e Cina sono i soliti nemici e su internet sono credibili. ma  l’Iran.. ?

We will ensure that personal data receives full constitutional protection from government overreach.

Questa sembrerebbe una buona notizia, ma oltre al government (che e’ controllabile), sommessamente appunto che c’è anche un potenziale di “overreach” privato…

The only  way to safeguard or improve these systems is through the private sector. The internet’s free market needs to be free and open to all ideas and competition without the government or service providers picking winners and losers.

E questo è giusto, quindi cosa significa ? più incisività nell’azione antitrust e a difesa della non discriminazione della rete ?

Detto cosi’ non e’ chiarissimo…
