US Keeps Control of the Internet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-thank-good-thats-all-settled-once-and-for-all dept.

Adam Schumacher writes "As a result of a a deal reached late Tuesday, the US and ICANN will maintain control over the Internet's core systems. A new body will be created to provide international oversight, which will, of course, have no binding authority."

    And in the US, it's good policy to attack other countries. Only with bombs instead of words.

    Without the Communists, America's politics are unbalanced and right-wing to the point of fascism at times. There is nobody to balance out the right-wing nutcases in the US. I'm not saying they'll ever be popular enough to bring about a government nor that they will cause the US to become a Communist state, but their presence is still needed. Besides, what happened in places like the Soviet Union isn't representative of what Communism can mean. Unfortunately most Americans do not have sufficient perspective to see that their state is very right-wing and unbalanced. And no, I'm not advocating Communism as my belief system either.
