Google wants a “Free and Open Web,” opposes back-door dealing at WCIT

Caught wind of this after reading Carl Franzen’s blog post for TPM.  Google just started a “free and open” campaign designed to  marshal support against back-door dealing at WCIT.

Here’s the official website for the campaign.  The website says that “[s]ome governments want to use a closed-door meeting in December to increase censorship and regulate the Internet.  Join together to keep the Internet free and open.”  Further:

A free and open world depends on a free and open Internet. Governments alone, working behind closed doors, should not direct its future. The billions of people around the globe who use the Internet should have a voice.
