Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Sudan... I don't think I'd side with them either.

On the other hand, when it comes to the threat of TPP for the Internet, US doesn't complain (quite on the contrary). Does it sound hypocritical?

Yes, you're right. We should let Russia and Saudi Arabia run the Internet, because the US isn't flawless.

You have it totally wrong. We shouldn't let US to push TPP on the rest. Surely we shouldn't let any ITU backed by Russia, Iran and the rest to do that either.

My point was about apparent hypocrisy. When it comes to taking away control over Internet from US to others, US objects. But when it comes to adding more control in the interest of US lobby groups (which push TPP), US government is silent. We, as Internet users should worry about both of these problems the same way.
