Obama giving away control of internet

I was originally going to post this in the Is Obama that bad? thread.
However, I think that the consequences of this decision merit its own thread.
Two Months Left Until Obama Gives Dictators Cotrol of Internet
Quote:Quote:
President Barack Obama is determined to give away control of the Internet within two months — one of the worst blunders in the history of national security, economic policy, and the fight for liberty generally.
In the wake of the embarrassing revelation that the National Security Agency (NSA) was spying on foreign leaders, the Obama administration announced plans in 2014 to shift control of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) from the U.S. to a multilateral body.
Under the supervision of Obama crony and Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker — a billionaire heiress and campaign bundler with no technological experience, and a history of failure in the subprime loans industry — the administration has ignored critics of the plan. They point out that transferring control of domain names to a body like the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) could leave autocratic nations like Russia, China, and even Iran in charge of the world’s most important free medium.
Breitbart News noted in 2014:
U.S. control of domain names has guaranteed freedom of speech and commerce across the Internet, against the strenuous efforts of countries like China and Iran to suppress Internet traffic and content. In addition, victims of international terror have found potential relief in U.S. courts by suing to seize the domain names of countries like Iran in lieu of direct compensation. Without U.S. control, those victims would have no possible recourse.
The Republican-controlled House passed legislation in 2014 to defund the ICANN transfer, and in 2015 to provide Congress with a 30-day period to review it when it happens. Earlier this year, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) introduced the Protecting Internet Freedom Act to prevent the transfer without Congressional approval.
But while the bills have been debated, the administration has moved ahead, the Washington Examiner reports, with transfer scheduled Oct. 1.

This subject seems really interesting.
Has someone any deeper knowledge about the potential outcomes?
Will it impact:
- webmasters?
- anonymity on the web?
- the number of websites we can access via mainstream search engines?
- the ability of SJW to control social websites?
- other?

This is arguably the biggest news of the year by far. We should get this out to people who can influence things.

What does this actually mean? The UN will be in charge of website names and ip addresses?
Like, they can allow or not certain websites to be accessed? Would they deny my website name of 'allsomaliansaredishonest.com' ?

The internet is a strategic asset. This is akin to removing the nuclear arsenal.
Obama is a traitorous scum bag.
This is something Trump should bring up as a disaster.

What do you expect from a C student, who got into an elite score via playing the race card. He was an average guy who hustle his was into these jobs, the dude was raise by white people, and lived majority of his life in an Asian community (Hawaii).
Furthermore, he never really held a high level job, before being Senator. He seems to know how to get paid, and is a totally inept leader.
The dude doesn't even know economics probably, why? He is a history major

When the Obama administration announced its plan to give up U.S. protection of the internet, it promised the United Nations would never take control. But because of the administration’s naiveté or arrogance,
The only thing worse than a monopoly overseen by the U.S. government is a monopoly overseen by no one—or by a Web-censoring U.N. Congress still has time to extend its ban on the Obama administration giving up protection of the internet. Icann has given it every reason to do so.
I really hope Trump makes this an issue.
Obama is a history major, what do you expect, he probably didn't even read the memo, ICAHN was probably too boring to deal with, he probably thought it was for nerds.
The dude probably never took a business or an Econ class in his life, he probably felt those courses were for losers.
The fool doesn't even recognize what black lives matters is about. He probably thinks BLM movement is about civil rights, its more about violence.

You need to realize that the United States of America is the ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD which has freedom of speech and press. They have laws prohibiting the prosecution of even things labeled as hate speech.
It is almost guaranteed that ICANN will deny domain name registrations to for example RVF on grounds of them being listed as a hate group on SLPC. Websites such as wordpress.com will be required to police blogs for hate or risk having their domain pulled.
It needs to be in the USA because the USA is the only country with militant free speech laws and culture. Having ICANN slip out of the USA will be an absolutely crushing blow to the free internet.
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

Pat Caddell Calls Out ‘Stupidity of Republicans’ in Internet Takeover Debate: ‘It’s Another Sign of America Selling Out’
Pollster and political analyst Pat Caddell spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Wednesday, discussing the state of the presidential race, as well as the looming United Nations’ “Internet takeover” being discussed in Congress, as Breitbart News reported.
Breitbart News highlighted:
Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has sided with the sovereignty of the American people against international elites yet again by coming out in public opposition to President Barack Obama’s internet giveaway to a United Nations globalist body.
Caddell said, “We polled on this weeks ago, and it is overwhelming. The people who knew about it were against it because they mean it is another sign of America selling out. I just do not understand the stupidity of Republicans, frankly.”
“They do not understand the issues that they have that we are showing in our polling, like on Iran – that they’re cheating, or already cheating. Why this is not like the Internet – a giveaway, going at Obama on those things,” he pondered, before adding:
These are major questions. Voters should be animated, and it is just frustrating beyond belief to me that it has not come up yet, and they, apparently, the leadership of the Republican Party, caved in on that, again. But the Democrats want to do that. Why aren’t the Republicans making that an issue?
Because they're cucks.

What is the status of this? Is it close to going through? What can we do to stop it?

Go Galt. Build a new internet. Seriously, I think that is what will end up happening. Then they will ruin the old internet and beg to join the new one. I will put forward a motion right now to say no.

Worst case scenario and this does go ahead we still can never be censored.
Namecoin is a viable alternative to ICANN for decentralised DNS. Or we might have to move to darknets with Tor onions, I2P, Freenet etc. Or something as simple as torrents or as complex as the InterPlanetary File System.
Truth can never be censored in this day and age.

But it can be made much harder to find.
I'm an European and I think Obama relinquishing the US's control of the internet is not only treason but will severely harm not just the US but the rest of the world as well. His race antics, his feminist empowering bullshit, his muslim sympathies and this, Obama is scum and should be put on trial for engaging in treason against the US and the west.

I'm on it - been working on plans for this for a bit, but accelerating it now.

The day sites like this go dark I think a line is going to be crossed whereafter people go from complaining about the globalists to actually disposing of them.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
