The United Nations could take over control of the Internet on October 1, when the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) passes from U.S. administration to the control of a multilateral body, most likely the United Nations International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

While the administration and its defenders have denied that the UN will have authority over ICANN, the Wall Street Journal‘s L. Gordon Crovitz points out that ICANN will need to be run by a state agency in order to retain its antitrust exemption, which makes it almost certainly that the UN will step in to take control.

The UN could screw-up a one car funeral.

[Right Wing Assault]

The first thing the UN will do will be to send in peace-keeping forces to rape everyone.

[Democrats hate too much]

basically what does this mean... Can they sensor sites? can they completely stop the creation of new websites?

[Tzimisce]

Which means censorship is coming.

[the_Watchman]

Censorship and taxation!

[mia]

Thought Al Gore invented the internet. You’d think he would want to protect his invention.

Isn’t this a national security concern? And, isn’t this control an invitation to censorship?

Well, this will enable the UN to control the anti-Hillary discussions.

[Biggirl]

Those same peace keepers could be facing armed up folks.

Read on another site that ICANN is a prvate organization. The reality is that even the USA did not own the internet.

[Biggirl]

No.

Freedom of speech?

I would have posted this article as the writer is a favorite but at the same time I did not want to stress any FRpers here.

[Biggirl]

Really,in regards to the anti-Hillary stuff? Serious doubts about that.

[UCANSEE2]

Read on another site that ICANN is a prvate organization. The reality is that even the USA did not own the internet.

True. That is why I don't believe that putting the duties of ICANN under the thumbs of greedy third world dictators who have the principles and moral values of Hillary Clinton is a very good idea.

[Secret Agent Man]

I am waiting losing internet access October 1-2. Thanks,to the clusterfuch called the UN.

Want something really screwed up even before starting, you get the UN.

We built it. It will be balkanized and worthless in a very short time. The golden age of it is over.

[Leep]

Amen!
