>      German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday that the
>    digital world needs regulations like those that exist for
>    financial markets in the G20 and for trade under the World
>    Trade Organization.  Global policymakers are facing uncharted
>    territory as emerging technologies open new frontiers for
>    regulation with the inter-networking of smart devices and
>    trends in the automation of factories, dubbed Industry 4.0 by
>    German politicians.  "We still have no international rules,"
>    Merkel said alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto
>    during a visit to Mexico City, stressing that there were
>    important security concerns without common standards.

> Oh sure, give China and Russia control? That's what would end up

> No thanks, Angela.
