“But compromise is bad when what one side wants is, well, bad. This is what the totalitarian Governments do. ”

It’s what any democratic state does when it assumes authority over people. Faith in the system is no substitute for actual authority.

***United Nations agency should play an “active” but not dominant role in internet governance as they struggled to reach a worldwide compromise***
