US defeats Russia in a battle to control the future of the global internet

 

美國在未來全球網路控制權爭奪戰打敗俄羅斯

【摘要2022-11-22.自由】管淑平

The United States has soundly defeated Russia in an election to control a United Nations body responsible for shaping global internet development, a contest viewed as geopolitically symbolic amid wider US-Russia tensions and an answer to fears of growing censorship online by authoritarian regimes.

美國在一場掌控聯合國負責制定全球網路發展的機構選舉中,徹底擊敗俄羅斯;在更廣泛的美俄緊張中,這場競爭被視為具有地緣政治象徵性,以及是對專制政權正擴大網路審查之憂心的回應。

On Thursday, members of the International Telecommunication Union voted to appoint Doreen Bogdan-Martin, the US-backed candidate, as the group’s secretary general.

週四國際電信聯盟會員投票,選擇受到美國支持的候選人朵琳.鮑丹馬丁出任該聯盟秘書長。

Bogdan-Martin beat out her chief rival Rashid Ismailov by winning 139 votes out of 172. Ismailov won just 25 votes.

鮑丹馬丁在172票中贏得139票,擊敗她的頭號對手拉希德.伊斯梅洛夫。伊斯梅洛夫只拿到25票。

Bogdan-Martin’s wide victory margin is a sign that few support Russia and China’s vision for the internet, said the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a US technology advocacy group.

美國科技倡議團體「資訊科技和創新基金會」說,鮑丹馬丁以大幅差距勝利,顯示沒幾個國家支持中國和俄羅斯的網路願景。
