Easy To Explain -- WHY ICANN is dangerous [aw!m vanity]

Posted on 09/23/2016 2:48:26 AM PDT by Arthur Wildfire! March

This is the quick way to explain why ICANN is so dangerous.

They essentially 'govern' the TLDs [top level domains].

Each TLD [such as .com or .org] runs its own 'phone directory'.

And ICANN controls them through 'Registry Operator Code of Conduct'.

Right now ICANN is subject to US law, mainly because its headquarters are in the US. But if ICANN's contract isn't renewed, it's free to move overseas [which it secretly plans to] and modify its 'Registry Operator Code of Conduct' for each dot-com or dot-org or ...

... theoretically even our military websites.

From October on through to a republican president, there's no telling how much the White House will coordinate with ICANN in the name of 'no controlling legal authority'.

[In other words -- Hillary will have her gatekeeper if she wins, and Obama might too for a few months.]

A President Trump would go a long way to stop or prevent that from impacting US websites. Even then it could mean lawsuits and judicial rulings ensnared in international law.

>>Europe is seeking to form of ‘internet ostracism’ to regulate ALL domain names [aka web addresses] throughout the world, and Obama is on board.

"All your hater Web Address are belong to us now. Ha Ha Ha!"

("hate speech" being We the Educated Livestock contradicting the errors of the oligarchic cattle herders.)
