Good News From the House on Internet Freedom

By Brad

Yesterday, the House approved Rep. Mary Bono Mack’s resolution to preserve a multi-stakeholder Internet governance model. As Brendan Sasso of The Hill reports:

“Today’s unanimous vote sends a clear and unmistakable message: the American people want to keep the Internet free from government control and prevent Russia, China and other nations from succeeding in giving the U.N. unprecedented power over Web content and infrastructure,” said Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.), who sponsored the resolution. “We cannot let this happen.”
