U.S. Aims To Give Up Control Over Internet Administration
schwit1 writes with this excerpt from the Washington Post: "U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move likely to please international critics but alarm some business leaders and others who rely on smooth functioning of the Web.
Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance last year." Reader Midnight_Falcon points out this press release on the move from Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

Couldn't we like get some other organization in place instead of one headed by the UN? The unspeakable retards who wander the halls, the perpetual bureaucrats who have no one to hold them accountable will be in charge of this? The ones that gave us the IPCC? Fuck that, we need an alternate Internet, one without the UN and their interference. Or how they are biased away from showing all sides of an issue instead favoring the most politically expedient ones.
