Indeed Barrack.

The Europeans are definitely leading in a number of areas on internet governance - privacy, net neutrality etc. I believe though that they must strike a balance and sometimes it just seems like they go off left field too much..

Hi Ali,

This  is detrimental to the growth and development of the Internet. It
is likely to result in fragmentation of the Internet and should not be

Apologies for cross posting. In the wake of yesterday's well attended Kenya
IGF with wide representation from Government, Civil Society and the Private
Sector this story in Fortune Magazine raisins fundamental questions on
Internet Governance and Freedom of Expression.

Excerpts:-

Google finally said enough is enough when it comes to Europe censoring its
search results. It issued a bold challenge to France.


Google made a dramatic gesture to oppose censorship of its search results on
Wednesday, telling French regulators in a blog post that it will not heed
demands to implement so-called “right to be forgotten” requests on a
worldwide basis. The move, which sets the stage for further confrontations
between Google and France, also highlights a growing legal crisis for the
internet.
