Obama asked, and Congress caved. Now, on October 1st, the United States has relinquished control of the Internet and has handed it over to the global community.
What happens now is unclear. Many agree that the United States will be unable to reestablish control over ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, but people are less certain about who will eventually take charge.
Some claim that the U.N. will take over, while others are pointing toward foreign governments. Unfortunately, the leading contending states have been described as “hostile governments” with less than stellar records regarding free speech.
Breitbart has compiled a list of the countries in contention for Internet control and their respective records regarding free speech online.

B******t
From what I heard it is irreversible. Trump would not be able to undo this fiasco too.
Obama is doing everything in his power to cripple us and destroy our sovereignty before his term ends. I only pay that what he had done can be reversed when Trump gets in. 8 years of methodically dismantling or country. I was appalled when he was reelected because of all the damage he had done the first 4 years. Dear God, please deliver us from this evil.
This is a National nightmare!!! I consider it a sellout where our rights to free speech, freedom of expression will be squashed….truly a sad day for America!!! Where was Congress???????
Obama had one order when he was elect “destroy the American way of life “
‘Nuff said….
How does Obama have power to relinquish this control?
Why don’t you guys ever post anything about TPP?
What about it, you American losing its sovereignty! People just don’t understand, I tried!
Everyone will be working as a corporate cog….pensions will be gone. We all be slaves
