I don't get what aerospace and advanced technology research groups have to do with the UN or the internet. They should have targeted and released information from the groups and individuals that support and lobby for internet regulation like; Hollywood lobbyists, the WTO, Religious and Moralist organizations, Bureaucrats from member states, all the designated negotiators from countries that support these regulations, companies that make the software and hardware for monitoring and control, ISP's that cooperate with governments.

In any case, that is a sweet graphic they have, my compliments to the graphic designer.

I don't see how releasing all this information is proving that freedom on the net is a good thing.... In fact if the countries involved had their way security breaches like this could be prevented. Perhaps releasing information about the UN or the communist countries trying to get the laws passed would be more prudent. All they've done here is piss off a whole lot of corporations that may have been in favor of the current internet, but of course now they might rethink that.

Good job guys.

the problem is a net protest is like telling everyone in your family you don't like something and they simply say um yeah ok sorry to hear that.

in other words nothing.
