Global Network Initiative and Internet Governance

The Global Network Initiative (GNI), founded by Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo, is identified as a corporate effort to seize control of internet governance under the guise of protecting human rights. Executive Director Susan Morgan, formerly of British Telecom, is scrutinized alongside the organization's board of directors. The initiative is framed as a move to replace the multi-stakeholder model of ICANN with a corporate-led regulatory framework.
