Network Neutrality

[Doc Holliday]

Nice troll posting. Can someone tell me what organization will regulate ICANN and if it will be possible for a coalition of anti-free speech nations to shut down a specific website they no longer like?

[Fe 26]

They were already doing that in their own borders

[Doc Holliday]

Right, but the concern is once ICANN is managed internationally, then a website can be shut down globally if it offends a majority of the regulators, or just one if they hold enough pull to sway the others?

[Fe 26]

yeah, thats going to work out.

Russia: "hello, viacom, we'd really like it if you took down your website with all this information that makes us look bad:
Viacom "oh yeah, we will get right on it"

[Doc Holliday]

Not exactly. It just pays X,Y, & Z members of the council, they vote, and Viacom's registry is no longer recognized. ...although I can't imagine it would happen to something as big as Viacom. Sega-16.com on the other hand may talk shit about Cubans, then get pulled.

what does obama and the evil demos have to gain in your conspiracy theory?

[Doc Holliday]

It's not relevant.

dns is not the internet. You can use your own if you want to.

Currency is not the economy. You can use your own if you want to.

Really? Awesome. Let me write up some IOUs and take them to the strip club!

If Obama is giving away the internets, I want one!
