EDIT: Much better if you posted a link such as those available from mine below, otherwise you give over post control to the management.

'United States Gives Internet Control To UN'? Nope. The U.S. never had 'internet control' in the first place. Which is of course a good thing...

So this is just about how administers the Domain Name System (DNS)

I am quaking in my boots at this shocking information.

I can't believe that anyone would think that a world wide system of Internets Tubes site names should be governed by a world wide organization and not a single country.

I suppose the UN will block my application for www.bustyteenagelesbiannunsinbondage.com

I am just not seeing this as any type of problem at all.

At least not in the top 1,000 problems in the world we really should be worried about.

Some hours ago I read following in the Swedish headlines news

Have used google translate

"The US government submitted on Saturday over its supervisory role over the Internet source database to the nonprofit organization ICANN, which manages the worldwide data network all domain names and electronic addresses. Trade Ministry's contract with
ICANN expires as part of America's plan to privatize the Internet. ICANN will continue to be self-regulating and managed by businesses, nonprofit organizations and government-affiliated groups. Critics argue that the handover open for authoritarian regimes to take control of ICANN

Although the change will not be noticeable for ordinary users, it is revolutionary - and welcomed by the Swedish government.
-The Difference now is that the US alone has influence over the governance of the Internet, but that all countries have as much power, says Anne-Marie Eklund Löwinder, Security on the Internet Foundation in Sweden. Fears that totalitarian states should take control of the network dismisses Eklund Löwinder: -There are so many different players involved. It will be practically impossible for anyone or any country to take control"

Can't find anything about UN in this story

Welcomed by more or less everyone except sections of the U.S. right, who don't seem to understand what DNS is, but assume that whatever it is, they should have exclusive control over it.

The whole point of internet infrastructure is that it is decentralised, reducing its vulnerability to attack. Nobody can 'control' it.

POtuS sure does hate the USA. I don't think anyone can argue that point.

Pretty much anyone would be able to argue that point.

Do not confuse a POTUS having an opinion different from yours with hating a country. Do you really believe that someone could become president that truly hates his or her country?

There are many many things that I disagree with concerning Obama. Some of them I disagree in the strongest feelings. But I have not experienced anything that would lead me to think he hates this country.
