Since 1961, the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC) has provided an annual forum for outstanding undergraduates to meet and discuss major contemporary issues. The Conference has become a way of bringing together the nation's future Navy and Marine Corps officers with their peers from other colleges and universities, both civilian and military, from across the country and around the world.

Roundtable Wrap-Up: RT 5-Wednesday
We spent the first part of the morning discussing the USA and the Internet censorship and what role the United States should have if any in controlling the world’s computer network. We also discussed the possibility of the Internet kill switch and the legality of such a thing and what the situations it would be appropriate to use such a thing in. We then discussed Wikileaks and how the government’s need for secrecy ties in with censorship. Finally we discussed software as a weapon and if it should be controlled as arms are controlled.
