The GOP gift wrapped this for the kenyan. Didn’t fight it at all. Don’t put this all on Obama.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

Figuring out who handles what in the Internet ecosystem can be tricky. Some people think that ICANN is the organization that runs the Internet, but the fact is that ICANN plays a high-level, important but limited role in how the Internet is organized.
Heres how it works. To reach another person on the Internet you have to give your computer a destination usually entered as a name or number. That destination has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldnt have one global Internet.
Humans prefer to find desired web addresses and email addresses by name (such as icann.org.) But computers know each other by numbers, or Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. ICANN helps coordinate the Domain Name System (DNS), often referred to as the phone!book of the Internet because it matches domain names with appropriate IP address numbers. ICANN also operates part of the DNS, and manages IP addresses and other protocol numbers.

My comment: I note that ICANN has until this point been a friend to us the users of the internet. But all that can be changed as the group put in control of the above are organized around a global entity that is unelected and unresponsive to the needs and habits of the users.
In sum, this is Obama taking internet control away from Americans and all that that entails.
It really is a shame that our leadership in this country are such gutless wonders.
The elites squander and degrade the things we’ve built that make us exceptional, then wag their fingers and lecture us about how we shouldn’t think of ourselves as exceptional.
“On his way out of the door Barack Obama will have wholly ceded over control of the Internet to UNIDO, (United Nations Industrial Development Organization).”
No, on his way out of the door the Republican traitors ALLOWED Obama to cede control of the Internet.
I don’t listen to Limbaugh much anymore, but has he hit this thing? Hannity? Levin? Anyone?
I said Trump should team up with Cruz after he endorsed him , maybe Cruz could have gotten Trump to mention this in the debate and stopped it.
I'm a Trump supporter but we needed Cruz for this(Cruz has been opposing this for 2 years) and Rubio for Florida as it will all come down to Florida. I got attacked here by other fellow Trump supporters not all some for mentioning a Trump Cruz rubio alliance. Now it will be harder to elect Trump with a censored Internet. but if Trump wins I know he can get the Internet back
It’s for our own good. And just think, NO MORE SCANDLES to get upset about!
I have called my Senators, not that it would do much good, Kaine and Warner are attached to Hussein’s rear end.

Well, I for one welcome our new Internet overlords
The Idiots that walk around all day looking at their Hand will freak when they find out . Will the UN give everyone a Number so they can be identified and Stoned to death
Start a new one ,this old one is running out of addresses anyway
By Sunday morning the lefties will be dominating the commment sections across the internet. And “winning” all the arguments.
Wonder if this’ll be Pyrrhic for the Chinas, Russias, etc. of the world as the Moose do everything they can to queer the internet for all infidels.
This is just another step in bringing control to those who will be running the New Global order.
that headline is giving me grammatical indigestion.
