"I have introduced a bipartisan resolution condemning some countries’ efforts to control the Internet and urging the Obama administration to oppose these actions. The House recently passed a similar resolution by 414-0. It is time for the Senate to act.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee should pass this resolution without delay, and we must get the Senate’s full weight behind it. Given the Internet’s impact on commerce and the exercise of basic freedoms, we must proactively assert our interests in keeping the Internet free and prevent enemies of freedom from dictating its future."

I wonder what kind of crap he'll be hiding within the bill?
Found this line kind of funny:

"We need to protect fundamental Internet freedoms in the hope that greater connectivity will help bring greater prosperity to people around the world while helping the oppressed achieve what the Arab Spring achieved for the people in the Middle East and North Africa." :eek:

"I have introduced a bipartisan resolution condemning some countries’ efforts to control the Internet [...]"

Gee, I wonder if the US is on that list of "some countries." I'm guessing it isn't ...

Ha ha. I don't mean Rubio is actually changing. Only that even those who belong to globalist think tanks, like Rubio, are seeing the winds change and are trying to act like they are on that track. Of course, it's just blather.

Even Hillary Clinton is pretty supportive of Internet freedom. Just not for Americans and western countries.

Thanks for clarifying. :p

Marco's likely list of countries that need to "open up" to his brand of propaganda: Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Russia, China.
