[Chapter-delegates] About Internet Everywhere (was On visual identity of FB pages)

[Thomas Lowenhaupt]

Joly,

Let me begin by saying that I missed the start of the discussion to 
which to responded below. But it seems close enough to an issue I've had 
on my mind for some time and I thought I'd comment, possibly forcing an 
inappropriate connection. But here goes...

I'm not sure I'm 100% with "The Internet is for everyone". It reminds me 
of Internet everywhere. And it/they sound a bit like the positions 
organizations like AAA (American Automobile Association) and NRA take, 
in essence, cars and guns everywhere.

To my mind, there are better and worse uses of cars and guns and the 
Internet. And I think the ISOC should weight in here. For example, I 
think there is certain infrastructure I'd like to be offline, e.g., 
nuclear bombs and plants.

Is there a limit to the Net? Does / should ISOC take a position here?
