I remember a few months ago, the UN was having some kind of 'Internet Conference' in some God-forsaken country. The UN want's to 'absorb' ICANN because they feel it might be influenced by our govt. Now I'm not for this UN plan, but incidents like this validate their arguement.

I read through most of the e-mails, I don't see where there was any pressure from the white house. Mostly correspondence concerning what the issues were. If the UN had control, there would be zero Independence and you would have a bunch of left-wing socialists shutting down 'hate sites', conservative and/or pro-Israel sites. The US created the Internet, the US should retain control over the domain names. The only way to keep the internet free from censorship and free from tax is for the US to maintain control.

Detractors said it just would make it that much easier to find porn.

Yeah, because it's just so tough right now.
