As many may be aware a conference is about to get underway in Dubai re the manner in which the internet should be regulated and accessed. There are a variety of positions being put FORWARD by various countries. There is a constant tug of WAR going on between those that would regulate more and those that believe less is better. Here is a link to Canada's position on the matter.

America is too.

Umm...no.

This is from the Internet conference that happened recently (results are in French, look for États-Unis) http://www.itu.int/osg/wcit-12/highlights/signatories.html

I didn't read the entire article, but aren't they the ones that made SOPA and CISPA and stuff?

SOPA and CISPA do not pertain to the regulation of the Internet, no matter which blowhard told you so. Neither has any relevance to the conference.
