– This past year, we have learned far more about surveillance and on how states act. Should it be accepted, there must be transparent rules, balancing the needs and balance.
It said IT minister Anna-Karin Hatt this morning when she opened nätfrihetskonferensen Stockholm Internet Forum.

Anna-Karin Hatt was in his keynote address on Tuesday morning clear about where Sweden is in many of the major internet issues on the international agenda this year.

With a clear address to a small group of countries wishing that the UN and its member states to take over the governance of the Internet, she said:

– In recent years we have seen countries that confuses the issue of monitoring the issue of the Internet’s governance. But let me be very, very clear – it is about two different things, which should not be mixed up.

– The only way is, in our belief, to develop the governance model with many different players involved. It is our strong belief that it is the best way to develop the internet.

– I am convinced that the option that states are taking over is much worse. Meanwhile, “the multi-stakeholder model” also become much better and needs improvement.

Anna-Karin Hatt also praised Brazil for having recently arranged nätkonferensen Net Mundial.

Some 450 participants from 90 different countries are in place at Munich brewery in Stockholm to attend the conference is going on days 27 to 28 May, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sida and the foundation. SE.

The issue also came up why whistle-blower Edward Snowden and nätaktivisten and journalist Jacob Applebaum not been invited to the conference of the Foreign Ministry, which raises debate and questions at the conference. “There are 450 students here from all over the world, I do not think the two white men for, had made much of a difference,” said including a female participant.

While IT minister ducked the issue, said a representatives of the Foreign Office that it wanted to broaden the conference and invite participants from many different parts of the world and that they wanted to avoid “visselblåsardebatten.”
