In approximately 3 hours the Obama administration will hand over the Internet and we will have a common law which could censor Cred Forums and other politically incorrect or pornographic sites
It got through months ago, you don't remember seeing those "fight internet neutrality" things everywhere?
also if you really want to discuss this, go to Cred Forums
Jacob Martin
Well I didn't vote for that
Henry Lopez
>also if you really want to discuss this, go to Cred Forums But I'm black...
Charles Harris
Time to die.
Henry Fisher
This affects EVERYONE. It fucking affects Cred Forums to you cuck
Asher Bell
Why would they censor this or porn sites to begin with?
David Stewart
I signed all those petition every time. The government ignored them I guess.
Fuckers.
I guess we're going down boys. It was good to be beside you all. I hope its not true, but we'll see.
Good thing I saved all that porn...

Instead of domain names being handled by the us government it's handled by a us-based institute run by academics, tech companies, and representatives from various governments
Joseph Martin
Only newfags ans normalfags can't grasp how serious this is
Ryan Walker
>durrrr vote Obama the Conservatives will ruin everything >durrrrr all they do is give tax breaks to the rich durrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Fucking liberals.
Nathaniel Smith
Internet is becoming ICANN's property. They're an international organization that doesn't need to follow US laws.
In other words, the internet is no longer protected by the first amendment, that means freedom of speech will no longer be a thing here.
And now, we burn.
Easton James
This is why feminists were petitioning the UN. They knew.
Jack Thomas
it means they can say fuck you if your site is not politically correct, or like rule 34 that contains drawn porno childs and such, they can shut it off
Ryan Foster
>it's handled by a us-based institute run by academics, tech companies, and representatives from various governments Oh boy, time for more leftist censorship. Fuck this planet, literally 1984-tier bullshit. If this affects my freedom of speech on the internet in any way I will go out and vote for Trump ASAP just to give Obama the middle finger.
Ryder Nelson
ICANN only has "authority" over a subset of top-level domains (ignoring the second-level of .INT because it's a special odd case), specifically generic TLDs like .COM, .SUCKS, .XXX, etc., which are allocated under community defined policies to registries who enter into contracts, which are also defined by the community, with ICANN. ICANN has essentially no authority and does not govern country code TLDs (e.g., .US, .JP, .CN), IP addresses (which are "governed" by the Regional Internet Registries), nor protocol parameters (which are "governed" by the IETF). ICANN also accredits DNS registrars, again under community defined policies, but there are thousands of registrars and if you don't like the terms of service of the registrar you're using, find another whose terms you like better. It's called "competition" and in a normal world, its what Republicans like Cruz and Trump purportedly support as opposed to government involvement.
The expiration of the IANA Functions contract with the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NTIA will remove the last vestigial artifact of a historical relationship that simply does not matter anymore. The Internet is vastly different than it was in 1998. That contract has no relationship with "saving the Internet." There is no "giveaway" to the UN (in fact, NTIA made it an explicit requirement that they would not be replaced by another government or inter-governmental organization). This hysteria driven by folks who simply do not understand what ICANN does or how the Internet works would be amusing if it wasn't so depressing.
Ethan Adams
I'm guessing none of you here understand the technical details and are just shitposting or are retarded, so I'm going to slip in a real answer here: this doesn't change anything unless you use shitty top-level domains like .ru and .cn. Cred Forums is .org, which is still under US legal rule.
Y'all niggers need to chill out. Unless you use KAT. Then you're fucked.
Hunter James
It's just what's happened many times before, parties/affiliations don't matter, everyone in politics just does whatever they can get the most shekels out of.
Sebastian Wilson
aka if something triggers them, they can just go right ahead and block it
Alexander Rivera
I'm so tired of all of this guys. Why can't anything stay good? Why's someone always gotta butt in and fuck it all up?
Can't we just have one good thing? Just one?
Cameron Adams
will I be okay if I move to 3rd world countries?
Nicholas Jackson
America will just build a new, better internet and it'll be 10x faster than other internets. We'll call it the Intertrump and it will be fueled by the blood of useless cucks and people who play mobile games.
Liam Mitchell
I hope you're right friend. I hope you're right. Its still pretty fucked.
Sources?
Elijah Thomas
Why must everything i love die before me?
Jayden Nelson
Hey anons, even If some of you have wrong opinions just know that i really do love you all. I genuinely enjoy the community here and i'd be broken if it ended. I'm not expecting a huge happening but i'l post this anyway. Got it from Cred Forums.

>International law No. Everyone's fucked.
EVERY ONE
Ryder Brown
FEAR NOT
I HAVE ARRIVED TO SAVE THE INTERNET
Carter Gray
This is the biggest irony of the entire deal.
Bentley Diaz
okay fine, now back to Cred Forums with you.
Juan Taylor
Probably will still be possible to access sites by their IP addresses, and to create an alternative DNS network with the shit unlocked. But it will be a battle.
Blake Wilson
>cruz.senate.gov
Bentley White
I'm almost right. Couldn't think of any actual shitty TLDs so I just used .ru and .cn. Guy above more was more correct there.
I don't have any sources on hand, it's just something I've been looking at with a casual interest for the past few weeks whenever something popped up in my feeds or with people I hang out with. I'm sure a lot of fresh reports will pop out now that it's imminent though, as it's something of a doomsday scenario for some.
Logan Robinson
tl;dr globalist shills tries to spin ICANN to make it look good You do realize governments will just circumnavigate this right?
Levi Garcia
lol I just use google's dns server

Just ignore all the bullshit and live your life.
Go out hiking this weekend, you'll feel better
David Turner
If they could or had even the slightest inclination to, they'd have been doing it already.
Benjamin Edwards

Owen Wood
Seriously. If anyone has ever taken a basic networking course, ICANN is something you will learn about in the first week. They just control IP addresses and Domains. Nothing more.
