Isn't ICANN an independent entity where no one really has control? Hasn't it been this way for the past 20 years?

David Conrad, ICANN’s chief technology officer, told us the advisory panel isn’t a mini-UN in part because it’s not a ruling body and any recommendation it makes must be unanimous--meaning any country can stop movement--though the committee can offer information or make suggestions to the board without a consensus.
More broadly, Conrad and other ICANN officials stressed, it doesn’t make sense to suggest a country controls the internet which, Conrad said, "is comprised of a set of privately operated networks which agree to exchange traffic using a common set of protocols. There is no central point of control of the internet at all. So, the idea that the U.S. is somehow giving up control through a contract that its entire purpose is to allow the administration of a set of identifiers is just sort of ludicrous."
Mueller, asked if Cruz’s claim holds up, said by phone: "There’s no legitimate way for him to get to that conclusion. What he’s doing is fear-mongering and trying to create a bogeyman, which is the United Nations." Mueller said the whole point of the approaching shift is to keep domain names’ governance away from direct government oversight.
Obama wanted to cede control of our Domain registry to ICANN. We've controlled it for almost two decades. Republicans blocked it. Potential ramifications were neutralized.
For almost two decades, ICANN has performed the IANA functions under a zero-dollar contract with the U.S. Government, implementing policies developed by the multistakeholder community.
It's actually really good for blood pressure
Bad as in mentally.
How so?
You got Toys R Us selling violent killing video games. YouTube street fights and twerk videos. Radio stations and TV channels promoting music artists encouraging violence, sexual acts and infidelity.
Where's the logic behind that kind of statement.

What does all that other stuff have to do with what he said? And how do you not understand that porn could be potentially harmful, especially with unrestricted access for children?

The internet community seems to be very supportive of the change.

So through what I know, there's no such thing as the Net Neutrality Act and net neutrality has absolutely nothing to do with ICAAN. Seems like just a bunch of fear mongering since if we don't control it than means someone else will and they'll do bad things (which we obviously won't /s)
The US Federal Communications Commission's two Republican members told ISPs yesterday that they will get to work on gutting net neutrality rules "as soon as possible."
FCC Republicans Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly sent a letter to five lobby groups representing wireless carriers and small ISPs; while the letter is mostly about plans to extend an exemption for small providers from certain disclosure requirements, the commissioners also said they will tackle the entire net neutrality order shortly after President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20.
FCC’s Ajit Pai says net neutrality’s “days are numbered” under Trump
"[W]e will seek to revisit [the disclosure] requirements, and the Title II Net Neutrality proceeding more broadly, as soon as possible," they wrote, referring to the order that imposed net neutrality rules and reclassified ISPs as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act. Pai and O'Rielly noted that they "dissented from the Commission's February 2015 Net Neutrality decision, including the Order's imposition of unnecessary and unjustified burdens on providers."
Pai and O'Rielly will have a 2-1 Republican majority on the FCC after the departure of Democratic Chairman Tom Wheeler on January 20. Pai previously said that the Title II net neutrality order's "days are numbered" under Trump, while O'Rielly said he intends to "undo harmful policies" such as the Title II reclassification.
More broadly, the Title II net neutrality order prohibits ISPs from blocking or throttling traffic or giving priority to Web services in exchange for payment. The order also set up a complaint process to prevent "unjust" or "unreasonable" pricing and practices. The threat of complaints to the FCC helped put an end to several disputes between ISPs and other network operators over network interconnection payments; this in turn improved Internet service quality for many subscribers.
All of that is in jeopardy with the Pai/O'Rielly promise to undo the entire Title II net neutrality order. The process could take months, even if they get started right away, because of requirements to seek public comment. The Republican-controlled Congress could act more quickly, since Trump has opposed net neutrality rules and isn't likely to veto a bill overturning the Title II order. When either the FCC or Congress do act, the biggest question will be whether the net neutrality regime is replaced with a weaker set of rules or scrapped entirely.
Exactly.Plus I don't see the correlation between pron done by consenting adults and human trafficking. Oranges and apples.
Good. Stay woke, b.This I am fully aware of. I've seen enough TV shows and movies to know that we are all under surveillance. Not to mention how easy we make it for Go'vt with social media. I put black tape on my web cam, but I lknow I'm still exposed via my cell phone camera. Plus they can always turn it into a hot mic whether it is on or off. We are too complacent with things like this. Some of us say well I don't have anything to hide, or I don't have anything they need so I don't mind as long as it is for the greater good [terrorism]. The rest are either fighting a losing battle, or not fighting at all. 9/11 was the gov't sticking their big toe in our front door saying we need to do "xyz" in order to prevent this from happening again. Once we let them in, they take full advantage of it.Feds watchin
Nah, it's only been helpful for me, both mentally and physically. It can be harmful if you don't have a balance of real sex to go with recreational enjoyment of pron- people can have a false sense of reality if all they know is pron. But that doesn't mean it can't be a relaxing and fun supplement to the real thing.Originally Posted by GlennVagmire
Porn is bad for you anyway.
Bad as in mentally.
No more lesbian, teen, ebony porn for them

@sckid20 must be pissed.
Why dont you elaborate on what you meant. He said porn was bad for you mentally and you just listed a bunch of other stuff thats bad for you mentally. As if that negates something.
And porn is not sex, for one. There are entire research papers on the negative effects of pornography. Desensitization, objectification, side effects of abnormal dopamine stimulation just to name a few things.
Net Neutrality Act , keep your shenanigans in the politics thread Rico
They are giving control of the Dem National Convention to ICANN?What on earth are you talking about he signed it into the law. The republicans blocked the proposal to cede control of the DNC to ICANNNet Neutrality Act, keep your shenanigans in the politics thread Rico
It's all good. Now, what does Net Neutrality have to do with giving up domain registry to ICANN? How is giving up that control the same as censoring the internet? And lastly what is the Net Neutrality Act?My bad DNS. Been typing dnc so much it auto-corrected.
