What a sense of humor!

In the computer world, there’s a lot of chatter these days on whether or not the US should continue to administer the Internet, or whether or not it should be done by an international organization (presumably the UN). It’s a contentious issue, because it involves some complex technological issues as well as the diplomatic ones. Fortunately, we citizens of the world can turn to that fair and balanced source of truth, The Guardian, which offers this insight:

It will be officially raised at a UN summit of world leaders next month and, faced with international consensus, there is little the US government can do but acquiesce.

Hahahahahaha!

That’s a good one.

I wonder if anyone over at the Guardian has actually been reading the news for the last couple of years.

Fortunately, there is a kernel of truth from one of the experts quoted in the article:

"The idea of the council is so vague. It's not clear to me that governments know what to do about anything at this stage apart from get in the way of things that other people do."

Oh, so very true.
