Obama giving up Control of The Internet To the UN (free speech, carry)

[hipcat]

Does he realize what he's doing if he gives up the internet to international control? Other countries don't have free speech laws like in the US

Most folks dont remotely understand this topic. This should be a fun thread to follow.

Just another one of Obama's checkoff items in his quest to destroy America and line his own pockets with money. Carry on.

not really, it gets posted every few days and usually none of the posters have the faintest clue what DNS is or what ICANN actually does

Do you? Please explain briefly.

Instead of giving up control of the internet it should be reigned in so the casual jihadist won't have access to the isis online news rag with the articles such as how to build a bomb in your kitchen.

but then again that would runafoul of someone toting free speech....

Any of you supporting this have a good reason for Obama doing this?

This thread title should actually be something like "US follows through on long-standing international commitment to relinquish sole control of ICANN".

I don't know what Obama realizes, but it's a safe bet that you don't realize that neither Obama nor the US own the internet and therefore cannot be "giving (it) up".

I heard nothing from the other inquiry - maybe you can tell me.

What is Obama giving them? I know DNS, ICANN... but what do they do?
