only one country pays but all benefit from it. It should be funded by all who benefit like UN.





I thought most people in the US wanted the UN to have less control over this stuff? Remember the talk about moving control of the Internet to the ITU (International Telecommunication Union)?

The EU, the EU and all bodies that remove a nations sovereignty should be removed entirely. Brexit was good, but the UK government made it meaningless. The UN chokes and strongholds it member states.

The CVE program is already a public-private partnership, which is BAD. CVE's board has people from Microsoft, Github, CrowdStrike, etc. Public-private partnerships are how the US government gets away with things a State should not be able to do: via private contractors. The US government has also run programs like Vault 7. The NSA has a vested interest in vulnerabilities not being made public until the US can fully exploit them Internationally.

The merger of state and corporate interests seems to be everyone's favorite overused word of the decade.


I'm sure that a hundred other countries will step up to fund it. But have you given any thought about why the US was so willing to sponsor it alone in the past?
