Sarkozy Offers to Control the Internet

During the G8 summit Sarkozy pointed out the importance of Internet communication development and fight against cybercrime.

Unlike the meeting of the Group of Eight such meetings provide the issues of World Wild Web development.

Awareness of Internet potential in the case of Arabian events , understanding that problems for international discussing gather a large Internet audience provoked Sarkozy’s activeness.

“The world you represent, – declared French leader to all gathers, - is not the parallel universe with no moral, legal standards which govern the democratic countries”.

Sarkozy intends to tighten the bounds of the law in France, for example against illegal file exchange all over the world. “No one must suffer from unpunished expropriations of ideas, arts, intellectual property”.

Web community representatives met the idea of Internet settlement unwillingly. Shakers of Internet business in its turn consider selective and non-cruel functions of Internet control. “Facebook” creator Mark Zuckerberg thinks that strengthening of Internet control is impossible: “ No one can forbid the usage of interesting spheres , and strictly control the others”.

As far as private user’s information is concerned here Mark Zuckerberg considers the necessity of lifting the ban for profile creating by children under 13 years. It should be reminded that according to USA law since 2000 web-sites have no right to gather private information from kids under 13 years old without parent’s e-mail permission. 27 years old Zuckerberg is sure : ” As far as education is concerned you are to get the profile in Facebook the sooner the better”. Mark considers both his own resource Facebook and Internet in the whole as a very useful in educational process.
