Obama’s not out there on a whirlwind tour of the country touting the benefits of this inaction. The silence in the media isn’t some grand scheme to keep us in the dark. The material is very dry and most laypersons don’t understand the implications or how it all works. Most people open a web browser, type in an address, and if it doesn’t get them to where they want to go, they freak out thinking their Internet is down.
Maybe for you but my son and grandkids are 500 miles away. I have food, water and power
so my priority is comms with them.
Sooner or later the 57 Muslim countries are going to take over free speech on the Internet.
Just one way they could do it is threaten search engines like google to put any website like frreerepublic etc that criticize Islam on a blacklist so that no one will be able to find any website that doesn’t conform to the koran (eventually). they could threaten to take away their domain name ,ip address etc.
This is just one way I one little guy can see they can do it. 57 Muslim countries have a lot of money (Saudi etc..) and engineers . I'm sure they will do this and more.
If this happens and Texas lawsuit or Trump doesn’t stop it free speech , freedom , the Internet are over. Islam will dominate the world.
Sure you can create rougue Internets etc. but that takes a lot of money ,expertise and trouble. Google and search engines is what most 99% of poeople want is convenience and we are busy working don't have countless hours to devote to some rouge internet. 99% of speech wiil be controlled by dictatorships and Islam. Muslims will not tolerate any criticism of Islam and they are not beyond threatening search engines.. if your site ever criticizes Islam it will be invisible to 99% of search engines . Islam is a cult.
Most of the countries in the world are dictatorships and 57 are Islamic . we would just be 1 out of 200. 57 act as block controlled by Islam. if this happens eventually we are done
Let me add one more scary thought. Which is worse? International control of internet addressing or a Clinton administration control over Internet addressing?
We desperately need Trump -- for safety, for jobs, and for protecting the free internet.
Some other thoughts. If Google didn't like the way the internet was blocking its traffic, it could establish a private address space and redirect traffic via this backdoor. In fact, probably every large U.S. corporations has its own private addressing space to conduct their private business -- in other words, they do not ride on the internet, but on the same underlying telecom physical infrastructure.
You may have to publish to two websites -- the actual site the internet directs you to and a secondary site that lives behind the private server.
Of course, a lot of this "safety infrastructure" is in place today to recover corporate websites from a DDoS attack.
Browser makers could also modify their search algorithms to search for the original IP address plus a back up secondary address should the main one be blocked by the internet authorities.
And this would prompt a cyber-security war between the rebel freedom fighter internet types and the internet authorities. The authorities would constantly try to take down the domains of private sites that support the black market internet.
In this battle, freedom fighters would no doubt adopt some of the techniques of global telecom fraudsters who daily redirect international voice calls for their own profit.
Fraudsters make deals to redirecting traffic to servers in the destination country where the traffic is broadcast via antennas onto the local mobile network illegally. This phenom is called SIM Card Bypass Fraud. And it's estimated to be a $6 billion/year criminal operation for fraudsters.
So there are many ways to recover from a tyranny of the internet, but they are inconvenient, ugly, costly, and would take time to evolve.
If I am in error in any of this thinking here, please let me know.
I’ll give you my Internet when you pry it from my cold, dead computer.
How are you going to stop it?
ICANN is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. While I disagree with ceding control, it’s much ado about nothing. They literally manage the assignment of internet addresses and DNS. The worst that will happen with this is that it’s likely we’ll see a substantial uptick in spam since foreign entities will likely buy up tracts of American IP addresses to spam from the comfort of their own borders.
The FFC commissioner, Bolton, Gaffney, Cruz, Duffy plus from video below, cyber security expert, Morgan Wright, on For the Record yesterday with Britt Hume...Morgan Wright, says after Oct. 1, there is no putting the toothpaste in the tube...Brave New World where we don’t know if the address entered is really where we are going...
At 22 minute mark...maybe 4 minutes long...Ironic that no one covered this issue BEFORE the votes when something could have been done...

One obvious concern he noted is that there is no guarantee that you are actually going to the address to which you think. you are being directed.
It is not much ado about nothing...May not be issues on Sunday, but it is a Brave New World according to Wright, and I think that is a very good description.
Mere fact that Obama is pushing for this and other power being ceded to UN tells me all I need to know!
f they are down, they are down and we will have bigger things to worry about.
Maybe for you but my son and grandkids are 500 miles away. I have food, water and power
so my priority is comms with them.
Need internet, twitter, etc. to spread information...
Ok you convinced me Islam is a religion of peace and the UN only wants what is best for us.
Mine are down stairs.
