I just heard on Fox news that on October 1 Obama has agreed to transfer the Internet to the UN . Four state attorney generals are suing to stop it. The tech guy said he doesn't know why he would do this. He also said he doesn't know how it will be maintained or if it would change. It also said that going to a domain such as.com or .org. So is this a big deal does it matter ? Why do it why not just keep it like we have it ? I know nothing about tech so I guess I'm just not understanding . Anyone know anything about it or if it will change anything ? 4951

How do you "turn" something like that over? No one has true rule over it, never has... 4951

A company is already building a new one with no restrictions. That is the beauty of free enterprise. Government can't control you if you do not want to be controlled. For a price of course.  4951

@mutton: I was thinking the same thing, but likely in a similar manner as the socialist countries that severely limit internet access to its people. Maybe not total control takeover but interfering is a better word.

That's what I thought too. Then to hear the tech guy talking about sounded like its about to change after the UN gets it turned over to them. Why isn't congress saying anything about this. Obama also wants to turn over the power for UN to decide our treaties. Wth ? 4951

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, even from Fox News. The US doesn't currently own the internet, or even internet access. They aren't even able to police it like they want to. You know owns your internet right now? Google, Amazon and Comcast/ATT for the most part. That's why our internet is garbage compared to most other developed countries. We pay more for slower speeds than anywhere else in the world. 4951

Excerpt from the Fox News Story"Republican attorneys general are making a last-ditch bid to block the Obama administration from ceding U.S. oversight of the internet’s domain name system, filing suit in federal court ahead of an imminent deadline for the hand-off. The AGs from Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma and Nevada asked a judge late Wednesday to step in and stop the transition to an international oversight body, after GOP lawmakers failed to stall the move as part of a short-term spending bill. “Trusting authoritarian regimes to ensure the continued freedom of the internet is lunacy,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. “The president does not have the authority to simply give away America’s pioneering role in ensuring that the internet remains a place where free expression can flourish.”Paxton was among the four Republican AGs who filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division. The U.S. government has been in charge of domain names for more than three decades, thanks to a Commerce Department agency's oversight of an obscure, but powerful, Los Angeles-based nonprofit called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). If the transfer takes place – as it is set to do on Oct. 1 -- the suit argues people will “lose the predictability, certainty, and protections that currently flow from federal stewardship of the Internet and instead be subjected to ICANN’s unchecked control.”  4951
