Imagine if everything you did online was subject to monitoring and control by the United Nations. Powerful authoritarian states, including China and Russia, are spearheading an effort to place the most potent information system in the world under centralized international control. They want the Internet to work with the same efficiency, speed and reliability as the U.N.
This week, Congress will consider legislation to amend the 1988 International Telecommunication Regulations to give the U.N. extraordinary powers over the Internet. In September, the authoritarian bloc submitted a proposal titled “The International Code of Conduct for Information Security.” In theory, it seeks to systematize and standardize the Internet and establish rules for maintaining cybersecurity. In fact, it will give the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – a U.N. agency that oversees global telecommunications – vast new powers to regulate and control access to the Internet and information flow in cyberspace.
That Beijing and Moscow are backing the idea is enough to know it’s a bad one. The free flow of information has always been an enemy of thuggish regimes. To them, individual expression and the unlimited exchange of ideas – which the Internet has made possible for some oppressed people for the first time in history – must be stamped out. Such countries view the Internet as a vast intelligence operation, a means of collecting sensitive information on people and preventing freedom of expression through a sophisticated array of censorship tools.

It is about a spider that is on the internet as part of some college experiment that is now being used by the police department as part of the pre-crime department that uses this as an excuse to spy on potential "whatever the current trend is to call them at the time" individuals to lock up because they believe that they can.
it doesn't matter where the internet goes, it's going to be regulated monitored and controled regardless here is a link:
Don’t say ‘flu’ or ‘subway’ online if you want to avoid Homeland Security
A freedom of information request has given some unique insight into the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The list of words used by the department to monitor online activity for signs of terrorism or threats against the U.S. has been made publicly available. There are plenty of words on the list that you would expect to see there, like "Al Qaida" and "dirty bomb," but it's the inclusion of seemingly mundane terms like "bacteria" and "Mexico" that has piqued the interest of some.
A 39-page PDF document called "Analyst's Desktop Binder" that highlights all the words Homeland Security watches for in online usage is now available online for perusal, The Daily Mail reports. Department chiefs insist the list is not intended to look for general negative remarks about the government, but it serves as a tool to make them aware of potential threats against the country.
The list was requested, obtained and posted by a privacy watchdog called the Electronic Privacy Information Center, who sued in order to get access to the documents. They have described the list as 'broad, vague and ambiguous,' according to The Daily Mail.
It seems the agency does agree that the list is in need of updating. Homeland Security spokesman Matthew Chandler told Huffington Post in February that the list is now under review to ensure it can "clearly and accurately convey the parameters and intention of the program."
As Forbes highlights, another interesting insight offered in the document is just how Homeland Security monitors those keywords. The "Analyst's Desktop Binder" indicates that the list words are watched through TweetDeck, and their information is kept on a Mac Mini. There is no indication whether this has changed since the document's release.
Here's the full list of words:
