ICANN is the Internet equivalent of a phonebook. They can be replaced by literally anyone. There are already many alternatives. ICANN is not the Internet, they are a service that people use to find sites on the Internet.

Please explain.
They have copyrighted code that registers domain names. Outside of US jurisdiction, other nations would gladly back their claim to copyright protection.
They have more experience dating back to ARPANET volunteers.
I assume they have backdoors in their code.
They are trying to trick us ...
ICANN, a Pack of Liars

So please assure me that there’s an easy fix.
Those screaming “mah freedoms” are just regurgitating media sensationalism. ICANN has for several years now wanted to have a more global environment to write policy for the internationalization of DNS. Being an American corporation, there were restricted by American regulation. Additionally, ICANN has operated outside the US Department of Commerce since 2009, they are simply moving to a new country of operation. The internet “phone book” will become larger with more domain names available that might upset people/corporations in the US because of their direction and or name. .XXX, .cokeacola, .fordsucks, .mormonlies, names like these could go up for sale to the highest bidder upsetting certain corps, political personalities and religious groups in the US.
I think it’s also a fair bet that Google will be glad to work with foreign ICANN branches and/or factions.
They can use their search engine software to cluster online complaint petitions instantly.
So when the Sweden Plan kicks in, [aka ‘global governence’ to stop ‘hate speech’] it will be easy and quick. It’s just a matter of when they want to do it. Probably after the election.
