While the Internet should never be under the control of ANY loser government(s), free speech was probably LEAST threatened when it was under US control. Now, the political floodgates are OPENED!
What, exactly, is the upside of this appararently idiotic decision? Were the US taxpayers handsomely reimbursed for developing this innovation? Will America benefit in any substantial way from this change? Why was it done with virtually no fanfare or public input. If not we, the people who funded the development of the internet, then exactly who benefits and why?
Democrats will give away anything they can't apologize for - even stuff that's not theirs. That said, Obama hates free speech as much as any two bit dictator... I suspect he and the dems will be just thrilled with a boot on the Internets neck.
Agreed... This is the most likely outcome I would suppose. It would be nice if there was more information about exactly what “control” the US Government is relinquishing...
