DUBAI, United Arab Emirates An upcoming U.N. gathering about Internet oversight is raising alarms from a broad coalition of critics, including the U.S., tech giants such as Google and rights groups, concerned that changes could lead to greater efforts to censor Web content and stifle innovation in cyberspace.

Among the issues on the agenda at next month's meeting in Dubai are ideas to battle Internet spam and fraud. But also tucked into more than 1,300 proposals are potential hot-button items that opponents believe could be used by in places such as Iran and China to justify their crackdowns on bloggers and other Web restrictions.

World Conference on International Telecommunications to be held in Dubai in December

At international summit, proposals expected on changes to web governance

U.S. delegation has vowed to block proposals from Russia, others that give tacit approval to online censorship

Drafting and debating of proposals have taken place largely behind closed doors

Another likely battle when the meeting begins Dec. 3 is over European-backed suggestions to change the pay structure of the Web to force content providers -- such as Google Inc., Facebook Inc. and others -- to kick in an extra fee to reach users across borders.

It's unclear what proposals will emerge from the 11-day meeting of the U.N.'s 193-nation International Telecommunications Union, or ITU. The preliminary jockeying highlights the tensions of the Internet age between what to regulate and what to leave alone. The outcome could affect billions of Internet users.

Some are unhappy with the structure of the conference itself.

"Engineers, companies and people that build and use the Web have no vote," said Google in an online statement. "The billions of people around the globe that use the Internet, the experts that build and maintain it, should be included" in the decision-making process.

Internet Censorship David Cameron UK.wmv
If Internet Censorship gets rid of bullies and things that are not child friendly then I welcome it with open arms. Any parent that cares about their child will surely want the same. Evil and nasty people have got away with far too much for far too long it is time for some justice and family values. Adult sites have no morals and care not about our poor children. Well done David Cameron for taking action when Labour did nothing. And I am not a Conservative voter as I do not earn enough. Our children are our future so it is time to invest in them. The old Government let my Nan down, I hope the new one brings hope for a better future for everyone.From:ButterflyLullabyLtdViews:16 0ratingsTime:01:01More inHowto Style

Today #39;s episode of #39;Unnecessary Censorship #39; features Mod Mark. Who knew he was such a potty mouth? This video is just a joke, please do not take it seriously. If you don #39;t have a sense of humor and can #39;t take a joke, don #39;t watch this video. Thanks! All of the censored words in this video are up to your own personal interpretation. Some of the words have been given small hints as to what they might be. I hope you enjoy, this video was very tedious to make, and took a lot of work! Here #39;s the link to the original video: http://www.youtube.com And as a final note: I won #39;t be making any more in-game videos, unfortunately. I am really dissapointed at JaGeX went through with the EOC update, and have no further interest in playing the game anymore. If I do make another video of that manner, it will be a goodbye video closing both my account and this channel. Thank you for understanding. -SynFrom:SynisterSixViews:4753 591ratingsTime:05:26More inEntertainment

The Book of Love
*This film was created for the National Coalition Against Censorship* The film centers around two sisters, one of whom is a conservative religious Hindu, and the other who is more open-minded and wants to learn about other religions. The open-minded sister brings home a book one day with Christian symbols on it, which leads the first sister to rage. Despite the fundamentalism of so many ardently religious peoples, however, most religious texts, as demonstrated at the end of the film, encourage kindness towards others, analyzed in the film. The film features me as the elder sister, Nikita Joshi as the younger sister, and the song "Haratanaya Sree" by Veena Kinhal. I created this film as a medium for understanding the hatred that pervades our diverse society, and to realize how sorrowful the hatred truly is. I find the close-mindedness despicable, and hope that through art, literature, and speech, one day the distrust and dislike between people of varying religious backgrounds will be gone. "The Book of Love" was created at our home, conceived, written, filmed, and edited entirely by myself with some assistance from my younger sister, Nikita.From:CelebratePdomViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:54More inFilm Animation

Anonymous Op4RedHack
Greetings Citizens of the world, this is Anonymous. It has come to our attention that the Turkish government want to prosecute a hacker group called Redhack, they are accused of being a "terror organisation." Prosecutors will demand up to 24 years imprisonment for people who have no connection to Redhack. They opposed and carried out actions against rapes, out of date milk distributed to school children, which resulted in 100 #39;s being poisoned, and the country being prostituted to the capitalists. They opposed child pornography, internet censorship, and brutal government opposition. Lately, they have been viciously attacked by the Fascist Turkish State because they share information which already belongs to the people. The most significant of these attacks is the one that has been levied against innocent people who have no link to Redhack. These people, who have shared information on social media about these actions, are now held for ransom, solely in order to demonise Redhack and cut their support. Redhack openly declared that Duygu Kerimoglu, Ugur Cihan Okutulmus and AllaatinKaragenc are not their members. Nor are the seven others, on bail. We implore the public to give their support to these innocent people. We call on all hacktivists, activists, freedom defenders, human rights organisation to demand an end to the restraints imposed on these three innocent people on remand, and the seven others on bail. No matter how dark it may seem, no matter how alone and abandoned ...From:TheCyberGuerrillaViews:1720 18ratingsTime:02:32More inNonprofits Activism
