In a way you were right — I overestimated ICANN’s technical power.
Their power is merely legal. So here in the US Trump can put a top to a lot of problems.
But that only affects governments which respect free speech.
But if a tyrannical regime wants to destroy free speech, ICANN can adjust its ‘Registry Operator Code of Conduct’ in coordination with a China-based hub.
For example, the UN could tell ICANN to alter those codes of conduct. The US, Panama, and other nations could ignore the UN, but ICANN might do what the UN tells it to.
‘Trump can put a top to a lot of problems.’
What’s that idiot talking about? Put a top?
He needs sleep: “put a stop”.
