Here’s a tasty tidbit for y’all. Anyone running the “root” “name servers” for the “Internet” can hijack ANY domain at ANY time. So, they can make your email and web traffic go someplace else. Have you ever reset a password via a link sent in email? What if your email went to someone else due to a DNS hijack?

Really want the UN controlling this?

At best this means the unified global DNS will no longer work, because many of us will not tolerate the takeover and will use alternate name systems.

Yup, this will end up fracturing the internet.

There will be major US name-servers set up and I predict that eventually almost everyone on the planet will be using them and not the current system if it is moved out of the country.

The UN or whoever tries to censor by getting control of DNS will discover that you can't stop the signal.

Thinking that you can control the internet because you wrest control of the current DNS is akin to imagining you own and control a city just because you have the power to change street names and addresses.... people will give the streets new names that they agree on and stick up signs bearing those names where you cannot molest them.
