...some other supra-national and super-sovereign entity, then we could get wonderfully diverse opinions about Internet governance, and China could better censor websites that contain words such as “liberty” or “Tiananmen Square.” Luckily, the usual gang of anti-Americans didn’t succeed at the Summit. Instead, there were a few vapid bureaucratic proclamations about healing the technology gap between rich and poor nations by bridging the “digital divide” (a phrase so overused that it, too, may require an acronym before long...

And, in a world where one can barely look at a Pez dispenser or Junior Mint without memories of Jerry and the gang, he inevitably invites comparisons to the most feared soup artisan of the “Seinfeld” New York...
