Protecting an open internet beyond 2016
08/03/2015
The effort in Congress led by Senator Cruz to protect an open internet by requiring Congressional approval of any move to turn the open internet over to other countries which prefer a larger government role in the internet. China and Russia prefer a larger government role. The Obama administration following the Dotcom Act could transfer the role now played by ICANN to other governments in 30 days after sending it to Congress, and lower the bar for its operation to a consensus among governments.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
