"The working group's report says the governing body would respect freedom of expression. At the same time, it holds as one of its 'key principles' the 'respect for cultural and linguistic diversity as well as tradition [and] religion.' On the Internet, it says, 'that translates to multilingual, diverse and culturally appropriate content' (our emphasis). And who decides whether content is culturally, or otherwise, 'appropriate'? Today, no one. Tomorrow, Tehran, Beijing or Brussels."
"As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism." - Henry David Thoreau
