The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “Why Internet Advocates Hate Russia’s Proposal to Change the Web”.

Alex Fitzpatrick says, “The list of Internet luminaries warning about a United Nations conference about the Internet and telecommunications is growing by the day: Google and Mozilla have spoken out against the conference. Vint Cerf, Google VP and “father of the Internet” wrote against it two days ago. World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee did the same on Tuesday.

The conference in question is the International Telecommunication Union’s WCIT, or the World Conference on International Telecommunications. WCIT’s purpose is to update a decades-old international treaty that sets standards for cross-border communications, among other purposes. As the treaty hasn’t been updated since 1988”.
