The internet “phone book” will become larger with more domain names available that might upset people/corporations in the US because of their direction and or name. .XXX, .cokeacola, .fordsucks, .mormonlies, names like these could go up for sale to the highest bidder upsetting certain corps, political personalities and religious groups in the US.

The bill prevents ICANN from going outside of US and sensures that the .GOV and >MIL extensions will remain under US control....
IF Obama and Zuckerberg types want this transfer to globalists, it clearly is not going to protect my freedoms.
