Oh look, the internet still works today.

 

[Steve Ralls]

The concern has always been creeping censorship, interference and intrusion by repressive regimes, not necessarily a sudden apocalyptic globalization of the great firewall of China.

Globalization and the NWO is never a good thing. This should have never happened.

Guess how much Mr. Croker's promise is worth...

[chicofehr]

Will this be a slippery slope that leads to the demise of the USA as a super power leading to the NWO officially (openly) ruling the world? Only time will tell. History is exciting or scary depending on who you are.

''slippery slope that leads to the demise of the USA as a super power ''

chris Matthews asked the candidates in a interview '' what country's leaders do you look up to ?? '' I mean when did the usa start looking up to foreign country's and there leaders ???

that's how sad things are

Put the straw away, nobody seriously expected the internet to cease to function. Besides, even the worst actors involved seek to control, not destroy. The internet is a useful tool, just look at social media as a manipulation platform. Also successful hidden manipulation of ANYTHING (public opinion, laws, content, etc) must be done slowly and quietly. Change things too fast or make too much noise and you attract unwanted attention. Anyway this probably won't mean much for the US in the near future, but this move (like most Global initiatives) has zero upsides at all for us and potential downsides in the coming years.

I'd far rather the internet remained under the control of the N(U)SA.

/yeah right.

 

[razor512]

The issue with giving up control to a larger global community, would still crate a situation of 2 wolves and a sheep deciding on whats for dinner. There are far more oppressive countries in the world than those who protect at least some of the rights of the people.

We created it. We own it. Obama giving away everything the US owns: the internet, military advantage, country's prestige, safety...


Somehow, I don't see any other country in the world giving away control of their own creations. China? Nope. Russia? Nope.

 

[jwl3]

Look at what the UN has wrought. Sex charges against UN "peacekeepers. " Despotic countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia chairing the "human rights commission. " It's a farce.

Imagine a jury made up of your fellow thugs. Idiocy personified. But representative of the Obama doctrine of no nations, no borders and "USA is not that great. "

"We created it. We own it." Do you really think it s hard for any political block to make a listing of IP against name... Have you ever thought ICANN could have been accepted in the first place because it was serving global economic interests not because foreigner block wouldn't be able to achieve such great feat like making a two columns spreadsheet... Imagine for one second, these blocks would follow your logic and tell you to keep "your" internet so you can kiss goodbye overseas incomes... Populism is real plague

 

[jadefa]

That nice little website domain you used to pay $19 for will now be $99.

 

[randomizer]

On the one hand I like the idea of decentralising control of anything related to the Internet or the WWW. On the other hand we all know how well committees tend to function.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Globalization to make the public mindless , and BIGGER BROTHERS are now watching you. Censorship will soon be out of control.

 

[Pleiades]

Stark staring bonkers redneck rampagers' dream come true. Oh noes, the foreign aliens are coming to steal our flag and our guns!

No worries, the great Trump will save you all! PS Trump is slang for 'fart' over here LOL ;-)

Errr no you don't. Internet wouldn't be much use if only 'Murica could use it, would it? Moron. Just like it'd be no use without the World Wide Web, which you right wing ignoramuses are using RIGHT NOW. 'Cos that was invented by a FOREIGNER in a FOREIGN LAND and given away for free; OMG must've been a COMMUNIST like Obama and Hillary, right? LOL.

I suggest you stop all usage of 'foreign' owned products and services and go back to your little caves in the woods where you belong.

World Wide Web, invented by Briton Tim Berners-Lee at the CERN SuperCollider (France/Switzerland). It's what you're using now btw, since you're obviously not very smart LOL.

The fact they made you some sort of moderator shows how far 'Murica has fallen recently (and has a long way to go to re: next election).
