Does anyone have the full list of the 15 countries that wanted to remove the text that the article mentions? From the article it links [1] I can find:

Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kenya, South Africa, Indonesia, and India

Can this submission URL also be updated to the above? Why go through Slashdot for this?

Also the actual resolution from the article: https://www.article19.org/data/files/Internet_Statement_Adop...

Agreed.

The slashdot "value add" for this article appears to be in the negative.

"13 other countries that lined up with Russia and China"

Although a paragraph further it says "Russia and China were joined by 15 other countries"
