Net talking shop kicks off debate

Egypt should not have been picked as the venue for a key net talking shop, say human rights activists.

Reporters Without Borders said it was "surprised" that the Internet Governance Forum will take place in Egypt's Sharm-el-Sheikh resort.

Set up by the UN, about 1,400 participants are expected to attend the three day meeting which gets under way on 15 November.

Delegates will debate security, access and the growth of social networks.
