Obama is giving away the internet

[coldjoint]

WHY?

So it can be censored.

Oh okay. How will it be censored then?

Pretty easy to delete what you don't consider worthy when you control content. Criticism of Islam and climate change and global government will disappear.

How?

Moderators, word recognition, and other software.

And you think that, say, China will do that to the U.S.? Because that, of course, is completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

No really....why?

Just another nail in the coffin he built for America.

“Obama’s Insane Plan” Internet Oversight Switch: ‘If You Cherish Free Expression,’ ‘You Should Be Worried’

“As a private organization, ICANN is not bound by the First Amendment, which ICANN’s CEO and President Göran Marby admitted in a recent Senate hearing,”write Sen. Cruz and Representative Sean Duffy (R-WI) for The Daily Signal. “The First Amendment applies only to the [American] government. So if the government is out of the picture, the First Amendment is too. And that means that ICANN would be free to regulate internet speech by restricting which websites can gain access to the internet based on their speech.”

So when did China, Russia, etc. contact ICANN to ask them to censor their internet?

A good rule of thumb is that anything that appeals to Obama must be anti-American to some lesser or greater extent....the moron wants to leave a legacy...and his desired legacy as he stated a long while back....is to fundamentally change America....he is so idiotic he really believes that any kind of change is a good thing. In my experience most change is for the worse...and as we have seen anything obama touches turns out to be a mistake aka a mess.

Now of course obama hasn't a clue as to how the internet actually works...some libtarded globalist managed to get his ear and persuade him this is a good thing, this is a fair thing and will make other nations happy and they will not have to worry about NSA snooping on the internet so much etc.etc. etc and ....so Obama saw the light....another chance to take a swipe at traditional America aka White America...that is what most do not get...Obama sees everything and I mean everything in racial terms...is it good for da black folk? well never mind as long as it will shut up some white folks...dat is good...we do not need a bunch of white folk on here talking racist shit...we gotta do something to get rid of that and any other kind of free speech cuz all dat stuff just might come on da black folk like reveal what really makes them tick or sumptin and I am damn sho tired of all dem white folks dissing me on da internet.


“Every American should worry about Obama giving up control of the internet to an undefined group. This is very, very dangerous,” tweeted former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich.

“What is the global internet community that Obama wants to turn the internet over to? This risks foreign dictatorships defining the internet.”

The internet is the last bastion of free speech (what is left of it) in America...the media is totally saturated with political correctness and to get any truth at all from the mainstream media you gotta be able to read between the lines.

Well, we still do have talk radio...but that venue is under attack also and probably will vanish soon as well.

Once they (the globalists) eliminate free speech entirely in America then they will go for your guns...you can bet on it.

Look here boyo.............
many experts are speculating about the Internet’s future. Some are optimistic while others raise concerns about potentially serious problems.

This news should make every online business owner ask: Will a decentralized global Internet take off and soar like a released dove? Or will it hit the ground and never be the same?

Nobody knows for sure how this will play out. got dat chump? But since you think you know so much about the internet(were you there when al gore invented it...whispering in his ear) enlighten the board as how you can gurantee it will have no effect on free speech.

Once President Obama gives away American guardianship of the internet, we won’t be able to get it back. (Photo: Pool/Sipa USA/Newscom)




Rep. Sean Duffy, a Republican, represents Wisconsin's Seventh District.

'The incredible ingenuity of the American people invented the internet—one of the most transformational technologies in human history. But even though we created and paid for the internet, we did not keep it for ourselves; we shared it for the benefit of all humanity. That spirit of freedom and generosity is the very essence of our great nation.

Since the internet’s inception, the United States government has played a critical role in supervising the core internet functions that allow websites to interface with the internet. If any other country had created the internet, this power could have been used to deny internet access to websites that were deemed politically undesirable, unpopular, threatening, or disfavored by the ruling elite.

But not here in the United States. The internet is an oasis of freedom today because of our First Amendment, which is unparalleled in the protection it affords free speech. So long as the U.S. government is involved in internet governance, it cannot deny any website internet access on account of the ideas it espouses.

That could soon change. In nine days, without seeking the approval of Congress, the Obama administration intends to hand over the government’s historic oversight role to the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).'

Obama Shouldn't Put Free Speech on Internet at Risk

^ Every single word in your comment is profoundly stupid.

For example this paragraph:
If any other country had created the internet, this power could have been used to deny internet access to websites that were deemed politically undesirable, unpopular, threatening, or disfavored by the ruling elite.

So are you suggesting that the many countries that are currently denying internet access to websites that were deemed politically undesirable, unpopular, threatening, or disfavored by the ruling elite have done so with permission from the U.S.?

'To Americans and other Westerners, it might seem odd that Internet censorship is still possible at a time when YouTube, satellite TV and online chat rooms produce an overwhelming flow of real-time news and data. Yet authoritarian regimes from Cuba to Saudi Arabia to Pakistan rely on a mix of sophisticated technology and old-fashioned intimidation to ensure that dissent can be repressed, even in the Information Age.

No one does it quite like China, which has proved that old-school communist apparatchiks could tame something as wild as the Web. China has the world's "most sophisticated" Internet filtering system, according to the OpenNet Initiative, an academic cooperative that tracks censorship issues.'

Just another failure...there is a long,long list of them...but from what I have read they have developed sophisticated technology that allows them to do it of which we could not overcome even if we had wanted....but you are taking the term 'control' a little too literally ...the reality is America has allowed other nations the freedom to do what they want...for good or bad.

Even if we were able to overide Chinas sophisticated technology that allow them to censor their nations internet does anyone think it would be done? Does anyone now or did anyone in the previous administrations have the balls for that..of course not....the goal is to prevent any friction with china...the last thing this or any administration wanted was trouble with China...we bend over backwards to accomodate them.....well....after all...look at the trillions of dollars they have loaned us.

A better question that needs to be asked....if whoever or whtever group that gains control of the internet decides to suppress our freedom of speech in regards to the internet...would this adminstration or the one to follow do anything about it?

The reality is...too much is unknown about this whole affair....lots of disagreements about it....one thing I am sure of though is that Washington is not that concerned (if at all) about our freedom of speech.............what they are pushing....is globalization...if that means the loss of free speech...do you think they care? I do not...in fact I am convinced obama wants to control our speech more than anyother president in history.
