We have reached a critical juncture in Internet privacy and how the Internet will continue to evolve globally. The battle is raging between those who wish to control what occurs on the Internet including privacy, and those that want no regulatory control in place.

On the other side of this equation are the creators of the Internet and many notable organizations who oppose the regulatory control of information sharing.
