While today's US government claims that nothing will change for ordinary internet users, most of us know that is a plain lie.
IANA was previously an agent of the US government. As such, it was forced to abide by the same rules as the US government, including the 1st Amendment's guarantee of free speech. By handing the IANA over to the international ICANN, it's no longer subject to those rules. It also no longer has the protection of a particular government and can be bribed or coerced by other governments. In other words, if leftists majority of governments decide to deny access to any uncontrolled opposition, they can do so. ICANN can suspend any domain it wants to. If UN sees it as a threat to what they want (ie. globalism, climate change), say good bye to it.
This is exactly what leftists and dictators were planning for years and our Commie-In-Chief just confirmed it by handing it over.
