The group is still calling for “mitigation measures” but says loss of Internet access is not among them.

Considering the United Nations has said such actions are a violation of international civil rights, I would think this a prudent move.

The question becomes … What weird tactic will the content industry come up with to fail at next?

Look at actions, not words
When evaluating what they say, remember that United Nations is a club of dictators and their masters, headquartered in USA.
