RIP Internet.

CostcoSamples

This is pretty important stuff:

 

 

TL;DR

The USA, which has the strongest legal protections for free speech, will be handing control of the internet DNS system (controlled by a company called ICANN) over to the UN.  This opens the door to authoritarian regimes having some control over content.  Political dissenters will be easily silenced (simply switch off their domain name).  We are talking about global internet censorship if the UN gets their way.

He's against relinquishing control of the DNS system.

 

What's wrong with the current system?  Is it unfair or wrong?

Whether he's doing it for votes or not at least he recognizes it and opposes it.  Hillary could do the same but you don't hear anything from her.

Reported. You will be banned for this statement which disturbs the peace, order and good governance of the Dominion , and is thereby a defamatory statement against His Majesty Linus Sebastian, King in right of Canada.

And more people who don't understand the difference between IANA and ICANN and how only IANA is being handed over.

I'm afraid Trump is just capitalizing of his bases' phobia of the UN (which has real problems to be clear) and fear of vague forces called "Globalists".

Or just the simple fact that it's a threat to the National Security of the country he lives in.

I take it that you don't understand the power of controlling IP addresses.

If that's a fact and he said that then maybe. But we're talking about a politician in an election campaign so "facts" usually means "not that simple" "maybe" at best...

Well said.

 

Both candidates have already confirmed that they don't have any knowledge of modern technology.

DNS?

 

Worst case scenario people revert to memorizing direct IPs of websites and the internet feels a little bit more like the old BBS days again.

 IANA also controls IP Address allocations.

I don't know who that said, but that person should look up the charts of "freedom of press" and "freedom of speech" the US does it actually not so good in those regards.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.
