Three conservative states are suing the Obama administration in an attempt to block the U.S. government from ceding oversight of some of the internet’s core systems.

The attorneys general of Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona on Thursday asked a federal court in Galveston, Texas, to keep the Commerce Department from relinquishing oversight of ICANN, or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. …

Democrats and Obama passed Net Neutrality to pave the way for this UN takeover of the Internet. Obama is giving away internet control to the UN. It will mean censorship and taxing of U.S. internet customers by foreign countries :

Cruz has been fighting it. I suggested an alliance of Trump with Cruz after Cruz endorsed Trump but no one listened. I’m a Trump supporter

Once again, GOP pols outside of D.C. have to step in because our idiot GOP majority in congress is simply too hapless to mount any type of opposition. It should not have come down to the last couple of days anyway since they knew this was coming.

I believe if we reliquish the internet to the UN, free speech (what we still have of it) will be gone...

Sites such as Jim’s site here, will be blocked, I’m afraid...

"FEC Dems lay groundwork to ban Fox, WSJ political coverage "


www.washingtonexaminer.com/fec-dems-lay-groundwork-to-ban-fox-wsj-political-coverage/article/2603177

Coincidence ? I think not !
Eliminate all the voices of opposition, and still call it "Free Speech"
What about the political operatives and bias of "GIGGLE SEARCH" ?
What about the political operatives and bias of " TITTER" ?
What about the political operatives and bias of "FAKEBOOK" ?
Until we all think of just one thought, and lift ourselves with ONE VOICE !
Goebbels would be proud of this adminsitration !

While I confess I am not smart enough to di ti, we CAN create an
Altweb and not need their one thought internet.

It would start small but would quickly grow. The internet is more than free speech...so they can keep their function. Speech would live on the altweb.

“Sites such as Jim’s site here, will be blocked, I’m afraid...”

Replicate it on Freenet.

If enough Freepers migrate, it can be a viable site.

Ditto for other news sites (Breitbart, etc.).

Yes I agree. I heard Texas is suing to stop Obama giving away the internet at the last possible minute (abbot I think) . That’s our last hope.

We should post some info to try to get a vpn up for all freepers to meet up .
