Leaked Soros Document Calls For Regulating Internet To Favor 'Open Society' Supporters

In the document, OSJI argues that international regulation of the Internet is needed to protect freedom of expression. 

“Our freedom of expression work furthers the free exchange of information and ideas via the media and internet, and proposes to begin to address the free expression and association rights of NGOs. The internet has been a key tool for promoting freedom of expression and open societies — as in the Arab Spring — and is a potential safeguard against monopoly control of information in such places as China and Central Asia,” page 19 of the document notes. 

“Butit is also presenting underaddressed challenges, including lackof regulation of private operators that are able to decide, withoutdue process procedures, what information is taken off theInternet and what may remain. A ‘race to the bottom’ results fromthe agendas of undemocratic governments that seek to imposetheir hostility to free speech on the general online environment. Weseek to ensure that, from among the norms emerging in different partsof the world, those most supportive of open society gain sway.”
