Google says global regulations for internet not needed
- Middle East: Monday, December 03 - 2012 at 04:35
Google has said that global cyberspace does not need international regulations as no single entity controls the internet, Gulf News has reported. "It is controlled by the billions of people," Bill Echikson, head of Google's free expression policy and PR, Europe, Middle East & Africa, told the daily. "Governments have a role but the internet has always been an instrument of the people because it is designed to be open and free from the bottom up, not the top down," he said. According to Google's latest Transparency Report 2012, government demands for user data have increased steadily. In the first half of this year, there were 20,938 inquiries from government entities around the world. Those requests were for information about 34,614 accounts.
