Hmmmm. Just put everything on the web they said. It'll be fine they said. There's plenty of room they said. And the U.S. handed control of the internet to.............. Doesn't matter. We GAVE up control. Kinda like the Panama canal zone. Like depending on china making yuge replacement transformers for our grid. So, writing things down not such a bad idea after all.
[Since ICANN’s creation, it has been overseeing how web addresses on the Internet are passed out and has been regulating the IANA. Now, it formally owns the IANA.
"Ultimately, the transfer of IANA to ICANN is more of a formality than a real change of policy. But it’s an important formality," wrote Wired. "The fact that the U.S. government had the final say over the domain name system never sat well with the rest of the world, especially after 2013 when Edward Snowden revealed the scope of U.S. Internet surveillance. Severing that last tie to the US will allow foreign governments and companies to have confidence that the Internet is outside of the U.S.’ control."
Politicians who opposed the handover—the quest to keep the technical management of the Internet in U.S. control is led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has previously called the handover a “giveaway of our Internet freedom”—argue that online freedom is in jeopardy and allege that authoritarian governments who are members of ICANN can inhibit freedom of speech on the Internet. According to Cruz, “foreign governments and global corporations will have an increased voice within ICANN moving forward,” which can allow them to censor speech.]
Perhaps rationing of resources would fall under their purview now?
Stupid governments. Tell ppl to stay home, and are shocked at what they do at home? Seriously, if you really want to stop this disease, placate ppl. Let them stream.
It would be better to partner with streaming providers to play your ads. Prime has had a few Corona PSAs.
My Internet company has just sent me an email reminding me that I can upgrade to their top speed for 60 days at no extra cost. If people staying home are causing a shortage of bandwidth, it hasn’t happened in Kentucky yet.
