Mark of the Beast: Obama to Transfer Control of the Internet to the Global Community
March 15 2014
WTH?! Hold the flippin phone! Can you IMAGINE what is going to happen to the net NOW?! the RESTRICTIONS, including amount of time or hour of the day/night, the articles banned, censored, and the COST for in-home service that will be implemented?!
(Reuters) – The U.S. government announced on Friday it will give up its most direct means of control over the Internet’s infrastructure, but said it will insist that the job be taken on by a group that includes the private sector and other interested parties, not just multiple governments.
The Commerce Department maintains the master database for such top-level domain names as .com and .net, as well as the corresponding numeric addresses, but has contracted out that work to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
Assistant Secretary of Commerce Lawrence Strickling said he asked ICANN to convene a process for a formal transition, which he said must “support and enhance the multistakeholder model” and “maintain the openness of the Internet.”
The United States, which gave birth to the Internet, has long said it wants to hand over stewardship and has taken many steps toward that. But it has been vague about how and when it will cut the final tie.
Pressure from other governments to hasten that day has been building as tensions over Internet espionage and censorship increase. The push has accelerated following disclosures from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, whose documents showed that U.S. intelligence officials scanned vast amounts of Internet traffic.
Last month, Neelie Kroes, the European Union commissioner in charge of telecommunications policy, said the United States’ technical control of the Internet needed to end.
WHAAAT?!
