[Chapter-delegates] The Internet Society on the Wikileaks issue

[Joly MacFie]

It is certainly an irony that, after Hillary Clinton's speech earlier in the
year emphasizing the USG's support for the Open Internet, that they are
mucking with DNS and encouraging, even tacitly, site blocking.

I note in today's Wikileaks releases there's some interesting insight into
the reaction to that speech in China, where US Diplomats concluded that it
had had the opposite effect of that intended, actually re-inforcing the
censors.

currents events might have the reverse effect!
