They're already rising up with no help. It will be even harder when their communications are restricted.

Sue Obama administration to block Internet grab, group urges

And this should just stop! Obama doesn't have the right to give the Internet away and he should be stopped by Congress.

It figures that King Hussein would seriously consider this kind of giveaway to the UN. The stunts that he could pull just before leaving the presidency truly frighten me.

It’s really simple. He gets away with it because the Supreme Court, Congress, the States, and most importantly the public let him do whatever he wants.

“Free expression exists and flourishes online not because of perceived U.S. government oversight over the [domain name system], or because of any asserted special relationship that the United States has with ICANN,” Strickling said in the letter. “It exists and is protected when stakeholders work together to make decisions.”

As if the result would be peachy keen benign. Ayup. Industrial strength B.S.

Trump is gonna have his hands full!............

[Salvation]

Can this be reversed?

[dragnet2]

Why not, America is being looted in every direction, so what difference does it make.☺

AND they control ALL SPEECH!!!!!!!! AND ALL ALLOWED IDEAS!!!!!!!!!

The sodomite satanist psychopaths already had almost complete control of all our news/radio/TV by 1970 but the internet and talk radio broke their total control.......if they get the internet-—and only 8 guys control over 90 percent of it now-——we are DONE!!!!!

Klinton SOLD our secrets.

[HiTech RedNeck]

So if we’re done, why not end it all?

Of course that is sarcasm.

What DOES need to end, is dependence upon society for sanity. If you believe in Jesus, do it like you mean it! None of this half baked social-anity stuff. It will always fail.

No one in congress is stopping the Obamatollah and he is going to be UN sec general. At that point, the US needs to pull out of the UN and destroy the UN building. Let them house the worthless UN in Saudi Arabia.
And may a thousand eagles crap on his puppet, Hillary.

[Dallas59]

The US DOES NOT own or control the internet...sigh...Saying the US owns the internet is like saying Bell Telephone owned all the worlds phones.

[Dallas59]

No one actually owns the Internet, and no single person or organization controls the Internet in its entirety. The Internet is more of a concept than an actual tangible entity, and it relies on a physical infrastructure that connects networks to other networks.

[ronnie raygun]

The internet is a vehicle of information world wide and a way to monitor and control countries and thier thought

[Red Badger]

Slim Chance with Congress in recess..................

[yoe]

Once the UN gets to charge countries fees for Internet use they have the power of taxation and become the de facto world government.....It must not happen....contact your elected DEMAND they put a stop to this idiocy.

From what I have read, ICANN is a private organization.

[Biggirl]

Second it.

[Biggirl]

We have some comspiracy theory nuts on FR.

[Biggirl]

Not really.
