    What spin? Do you know that right now, due to international standards in telephone numbers, you can call someone in rural Botswana? This does the exact same thing for IP addresses. How is making the Internet more accessible a bad thing?

    Then your saying, what all I hear about China, Russia and other places is not true, and they have the same access as all of us?

    This is a waste of time.

    You either think the internet should be completely uncontrolled, or you don't.

    If it has to be controlled in your opinion, I would surely hope you would want it controlled by America.

    There's a link for slippery slope in my post above.

    Obama relies on the left's ignorance.

    lol, If you really wanted to give Americans greater access, obviously American control would be preferred. For some idiotic reason you think Americans will be better served by letting someone else control the internet.

    Obamas ideas, that you support, are idiotic and utterly anti-American.

    Speaking of domains, you do realize that this image comes directly from a Snopes article debunking it . . . right?

    The. Internet. Is. Not. Being. Controlled.

    ISP's, private or local government entities, are the way you access the Internet. They are the only ones who could "control" it. And this move does exactly nothing save create a new system for numbering ISP's.

    Good thing that their chosen sourcess of news arent talking about some of thsoe Soros Wikileaks. if they did, they'd have to explain and deflect his disdain for the jews, and their hands are so full with Hillarys baggage.

    It's opening up Pandora's Box to allow foreign powers any control over the net.

    The internet is working perfectly exactly as it is now. No need for any changes.

    It will eventually replace the MSM as the people's source of news and information, which is why these "innocuous" events are starting to happen.

    It's not really about IP addresses.

    You understand America is only 300 million people compared with the 6+ billion people in the rest of the world.

    Why would they ever give America sole control over the Internet?

    And to repeat my question: EXACTLY WHAT (*)(*)(*)(*)ING CONTROL DOES THIS GIVE ANYONE OVER THE INTERNET?!?

    AGAIN, then why is being done and what's Ted Cruz's problem. Logically, if it's helping something, a good reason to do whatever is being done, then bad things could also be done....just asking.

    What (*)(*)(*)(*)ing control?

    Does Russia control who you can call on your phone because you use the international standard for phone numbers?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Just like how if Trump is elected to office it's a slippery slope that will lead to genocide against all non-whites, right?

    You do know that a slippery slope is a logical fallacy, right?

    America invented the freaking internet, its ours.

    If you hate America, just leave, move to mexico, obviously youre not happy here.

    Ted Cruz's problem is that he is a mindless Rightist and opposes anything the President does regardless.

    This is being done for the same reason the world moved to an internationally recognized standard for phone numbers back in the 70's: to increase access and make commerce easier.

    Agree, some people are clueless....and I'm one. Seems to me , everyday I read where one person (in all probability) has done something to shut down some computerized operation, an Airline, Banks and causing havoc.

    If you hate capitalism and Americans having access to foreign markets, why don't you move to North Korea? You obviously aren't happy with people having easier ways to make money, Bestviewedfromredsquare.

    You understand this move won't do anything to effect that right?

    It's being done because the lack of international coordination is making the internet a cumbersome pain in the ass.

    It's an issue to Ted Cruz because he's a political hack and probably mildly retarded.

    - - - Updated - - -

    How do you think the US "makes" the internet?

    The Internet as we know it was invented by a Brit anyway.

    Wow, so not only are you a mindless Rightist, you have no knowledge of international economics.

    Pray tell, how can America make diamonds better than South Africa or Russia?
