G8 and the Internet: Sarkozy Messes With a Good Thing

“Sarkozy's problem is that, like other political leaders, he doesn't like a medium over which the government does not have final authority,” wrote Don Tapscott. “Nobody should forget that governments are the only legitimate representatives of the will of the people in our democracies. To forget this is to risk democratic chaos and anarchy…We need to hear your aspirations, your needs… You need to hear our limits, our red lines," said French president and G-8 participant Sarkozy, as quoted by Tapscott.
