totally agree with Nnenna. Though I would encourage establishment of an
international body to investigate complaints about use of Internet for fraud,
phishing, identity theft, etc. but NOT to police the internet. One of its duties
is also to receive complaints and respond to them regarding site blocking and
filtering. It should have the power to investigate and punish (up to canceling
domain name) of search engines that use these techniques in response to
government/corporations pressures.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=319091220-31122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I hope
that an international agreement be reached to that effect and only on receipt of
legitimate complaints from users/companies and NOT governments. Such agreement
should express freedom of expression and freedom of the Internet as an
alternative source of information. It should protect legitimate websites from
blocking, filtering, etc. This agreement should be ratified by all UN
members.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
