I know that there are alarm bells ringing about the possibility that the United Nations will soon control the internet. There are even some people claiming that this is some sort of Harbinger. I would like to distinguish myth from fact. What has everyone heard about this? I would like to know.

yeah that is scare tactics. ICANN doesn't control the internet, and if someone tried to use it to control access, we could just as easily bypass it and create another database system of names and addresses. It is basically just a registration company that assists in lookup tables where you cross reference names and ip addresses. A big phone book.Last edited by Sparko; 09-09-2016, 01:26 PM.
