Icann now controls the Internet. The USA controlled the Internet from its beginning in the early 1990’s to yesterday.
The UN( The evil cabal of authoritarian dictators and Islamics) controls Icann which controls the Internet now thanks to evil Obama giving it away to them.
anyone who thinks these villains, won’t try to censor the Internet is insane.
Just one way they could do it is to put pressure on search engines like Google to put websites that they don’t approve on black lists(remove them from search results so people can’t find these websites).
when will this start? who knows but as the years go on you will see less and less websites that don’t espouse what these villains believe, nothing about freedom, nothing good, nothing critical of Islam , nothing pro USA or conservatism etc.

Anyone think If I try to start a website called Islam Is the Problems .com that Icann will approve it? If you do then post your justification here if you dare.
All of you that didn't help us stop this Obama giveaway and told is it was nothing , you own it and damn you all hell ,
Yes.
And others more powerful than us tried to stop this transfer too:
Grateful that so many here care about this real issue.
For the few who foolishly dismiss the threat, please note high level military and security experts who protested to halt giveaway of Internet control:
“A coalition of 77 national security, cybersecurity and industry leaders wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, just days ago asking for intervention.
“As individuals with extensive, first-hand experience with protecting our national security, we write to urge you to intervene in opposition to an imminent action that would, in our judgment, cause profound and irreversible damage to the United States’ vital interests,” the letter said.
“Indeed, there is, to our knowledge, no compelling reason for exposing the national security to such a risk by transferring our remaining control of the Internet in this way at this time. In light of the looming deadline, we feel compelled to urge you to impress upon President Obama that the contract between NTIA and ICANN cannot be safely terminated at this point.”
The signers included former Assistant Secretary of Defense Frank Gaffney Jr., former Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin (Ret.), former Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl, former Director of the Defense Nuclear Agency Vice Adm. Robert Monroe (Ret.) and former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew McCarthy, among others.
They warned: “In the absence of U.S. government involvement in IANA, it seems possible that, over time, foreign powers – including potentially or actually hostile ones – will be able to influence the IANA process. Even coercing the delay in approving IP addresses could impact military capabilities. From a broader view, given the well-documented ambition of these actors to restrict freedom of expression and/or entrepreneurial activity on the Internet, such a transfer of authority to ICANN could have far-reaching and undesirable consequences for untold numbers of people worldwide.”
