How long do you think this site has?

Most internet users don't have the savvy to use the deep web. I'd put myself far above average and even I am in the dark as to its machinations.

The problem with the UN controlling DNS is that they will be able to subtly control what gets published out in the mainstream internet where the vast majority of people swim. Effectively removing voices against globalism and governmental control from the public discourse.

Most people won't be able to find www.breitbart.com if the DNS record is purged to deny access, most people won't be able to figure out that 72.21.91.19 is their IP address (and for some reason entering their IP address still doesn't take me there).

Sure, many of us will figure out ways to get to our underground lairs, but we'll still be walled off in little ghettos of feedback loops and confirmation bias and not actually influencing opinion or making any changes.

This will sway elections, this will impact public opinion and this will change the nature of governments around the world for the worse.


Once the UN or some other international group of globalist schmucks gets control of DNS I suspect that gun manufacturers and gun related sites will be among the first IP addresses blacklisted.

Time will tell.

If the Internet went to the darkside...well I'd have way more time on my hands to do more important stuff.

Good point and probably some truth to it.

But I really enjoy having unrestricted access to practically anything I want to do...learn, shop, entertain myself, annoy others, communicate with like-minded people. I'd really miss it if I couldn't do that.

If Amazon gets blocked I'll be 10 years closer to retirement.

I have no idea how the internet works, nor have I even attempted to educate myself on the subject of the "turnover". I truly don't know, in practice, what that means. But I'm against letting it go based simply in principle. I like the idea of our country being in charge of stuff.

Plus 1.

Amazon is just too easy. And I don't have to mingle with the masses. :-)

This is what a turnover is to me. I finally got the hang of texting. There's more ????

As some one who is closer to this than most, the hyperbole is un-needed. I disagree with the decision, but the ability to control the interwebs it is not.

Agreed. As a 31 year IT guy, currently a Network Engineer, I recognize the risk here as existing in higher fees for domain registrations imposed by those that now control these things, nothing more.

I also agree with those who oppose this transfer of control out of US hands simply based on principle. Why our government feels the need to give this control over to international administration is beyond me. It's likely just another piece of the puzzle of giving control of our sovereignty over to international control.
