America to hand off Internet in under two months | Washington Examiner

Critics of the move, most prominently Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, have pointed out the agency could be used by totalitarian governments to shut down the Web around the globe, either in whole or in part.

"The proposal will significantly increase the power of foreign governments over the Internet, expand ICANN's historical core mission by creating a gateway to content regulation, and embolden [its] leadership to act without any real accountability," Cruz wrote in a letter sent to Commerce and signed by two fellow Republicans, Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.

Because all those prisoners in those camps that were set up earlier can no longer handle the work load and there is a shortage of tin foil hats. Care to donate yours?

Listen, you fundamentally misunderstand what's actually happening. Some right-wing ****heads told you it's Obama "giving up control," and you believed them.

Were people just losing their minds when Trump said he was going to turn off the internet to terrorists and say it couldn't happen? Where are they now?

Right here.

Now, read the explanation from the Politico link that danarhea was kind enough to post for people who know the Washington Examiner isn't exactly the source of unbiased news, and then come back and explain how any of this will enable Donald Trump to shut off internet access in foreign countries.

Well, seeing as Carter never handed off the Suez canal, how would you prefer I see it?

As magically accurate? As valid?

Seeing as I admitted later I made a mistake and corrected, it wasn't ignorance rather just wrong canal, and mistake admitted. Now, do have anything else unproductive and insulting to add or are you about done spazzing?

I'm sorry, I posted as soon as I saw your post and didn't see your retraction.

But you might want to check on your horse. It's a bit high.
