Google Inc. criticized the United Nations for what it said was a plan that excludes companies and other non-government groups from a panel discussing improvements to an Internet governance body.
Google, the owner of the world’s largest search engine, said in an official blog post today it would join an effort seeking a role for non-government entities in a group considering changes to the UN’s Internet Governance Forum. The UN Conference on Trade and Development, or UNCTAD, said last week the talks would be conducted by a group of governments.
