First Amendment rights will no longer apply to the Internet on October 1st, 2016. Obama is handing control of the DNS to the world on October 1st.
You just saw the effects of this from YouTube. Websites are forced to change their rules and ToS or face termination by foreign countries outside the countries in which their servers actually reside.
Why is this Happening? __
>Wait, how does Obama hand over the keys of the internet?
The DNS Server that controls the entire internet (Everything with a .com at the end, or .org. Like youtube.com, gamefaqs.com) was controlled by the United States.
On October 1st, they relinquish control of the DNS protocol to all the foreign bureacracies of the world.
The practical effect on this is that it means other countries besides the United States can take down websites without having to go to the U.S. beforehand, which has had a history of protecting its First Amendment rights.
If the U.N. wants to take down a website for hate speech, they can do so now without any intervention by the U.S. This also means all websites that exist within DNS (this means gamefaqs.com) must answer to the laws of ALL countries, not just one.
Doesn't matter where in the world your website/server is anymore, you must respect the laws of all countries or be taken down.
Since the U.N. bans hate speech, that's out the window and so YouTube is forced to do this.
What can we do? __
Nothing. Once control is given there's no taking it back. We had our chance to fight for free speech on the internet and lost it. It's done.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who lost the Republican Primary to Donald J Trump, has launched a countdown clock
Republicans are fighting to stop this deal, but they need to get past Obama's presidential veto before they can do it. Some democrats will need to be red-pilled on this issue or else it's getting veto'd
How is this any worse than the current state where the US government uses it's control of ICANN to shut down gambling websites to protect the interests of Las Vegas lobbyists like Sheldon Adelson? I'm sure Adelson's contributions to his presidential campaign in no way shaped Ted Cruz's feelings on this.
If you actually care about this issue, the solution is to support decentralized alternatives to ICANN such as Namecoin, not lobby for continued control over the internet by the US government as if they've been protecting it this whole time.

They retain censorship power, just Obama has now extended that censorship power to the world so Saudis and other dictators can get in on the action without having to go through meddling US courts who would deny them.

A guy sheikh from Saudi Arabia can ban you for haram content. Saudi Arabia is very big in UN and one of the princes is the head of the Council for Human Rights.

Remember, in the rest of the world "hate speech" is not "free speech". You may be arrested in Canada or Britain for saying that muslims are terrorists.

What if this was planned all the way back since DARPANET.
What if the Internet was never meant to be some ever lasting bastion of freedom and choice. What if by design they made it into "freedom" to lure us in, and then slowly locking the doors behind us.
What if the internet is nothing more than the most evil trap devised by the global elites? No matter how many laws they use to constrict the internet people will never let go of it. People can't live a life without their facebooks and twitters, their personal identity is owned by mega corporations.
Imagine if we're slowly being lured into the Matrix.

All you Republicans are terrified of everything. You're scared of every fucking thing that comes your way, so you get some daddy-figure like that bigger Trump to run for president to yell and bitch and moan because none of y'all cucks can speak for yourselves. You all hide in your houses and your faggy trucks and cant stand the fuck up for yourselves. You talk about running the country like men, but every fucking time I bully one of y'all wearing your "NRA" T shirts around town or your stupid ass "Make America Great Again" hats, you pussy off and threaten to call the police like fucking women. I'm happy about this act, because now you can't hide behind your keyboard and say nigger, you have to actually go up to Tyrone and call him a nigger to his face so he can bust your bitch ass and fuck your Jewish mom.
Dylan Powell
Why not make a new internet that's USA only
Dylan Carter
hahahaha you fucking retard
I don't know how much of what OP is saying is true, but if it's true, then the Internet would be subject to a lot of really shitty restrictive governments known for censorship. Think of Muslim countries, or even Britain or Cuckanada where you can be arrested for saying anything against Islam.

Republicans are old farts, who don't understand the current events and only care about their seats.
Trump is supported by nationalists, who hijacked the dumb republicans. That's much more dangerous, m8. The last few times people fucked with nationalists there were mass executions. Didn't you hear about the day of the rope everyone is waiting for? You better keep quiet, otherwise you might end up at the wrong end of said rope.

Nice fucking meme, cuck. It must be nice being a keyboard warrior, huh? Here's the thing Republicans and Nationalists don't understand, friend. Republicans THINK they're crazy. They claim they will assassinate Shillary, they claim they will succeed, they claim all this stupid, fabricated bullshit they will do if they just don't get there way. But the thing is, most of these cucks have a lot to live for. That's why Texas never succeeds, that's why Obama never gets shot at, etc. But someone comes to my door, I'm actual crazy, and I sure as hell ain't going to prison.

There was a savior leader in America before. There is one now. It won't be pretty and it will be bloody if you don't keep quiet and allow the democratic process to unfold according to the wishes of the people.

But the thing is, NOTHING qualifies Trump.
Even Regan, Bush, and Bill Clinton were more qualified than Trump. Trump is not the one. Until you get another great leader like Josef Stalin or a smarter Adolf Hitler, who is QUALIFIED and doesn't have meltdowns every every week, changes his views, makes his campaign a business tactic, etc., then you don't get a great leader.

This is the future, it's controlled by idiots. Nothing is free or fun, there is no free speech.

Parker Anderson
It's not about whether they did anything wrong or not, they literally brought their respective nations out from the ashes and into greatness. If Hitler didn't get so impatient on world domination, Germany would have stayed a huge superpower for a long time.
Asher Anderson
It wasn't about the world domination, it was about restoring Germany to pre-WW1 borders. Many people got butthurt about that. All Hitler did was attacking Poland to get land back. France and Britain declared war on him first.

Hasn't anyone here heard of OpenNIC? It's an alternate DNS Root that mirrors the global root but has other TLDs which are not controlled by the global root.

all other networks are to have other names.

Austria is Germany. Even today it's the same country under a different name.

>Germany annexing a german country inhabited by german people that wasn't part of Germany pre-WW1
Also, >Czechoslovakia is German
It's a complete fabrication that he was trying to restore Germany to pre-WW1 borders.

Was not part of the pre-WW1 German Empire. The pre-WW1 German Empire existed specifically to oppose Austria.

Cameron Gomez
>Strategic bombing wasn't even a thing back then. Yes it was. It was actually invented in WWI by Germany, using Zeppelins and Gotha biplanes in an attempt to take out British war industries. It was basically totally ineffective, due to poor accuracy, but the idea was there. Hitler's initial plan for the Battle of Britain was pretty clearly a form of strategic bombing, attempting to take out the RAF by destroying all their bases.
>Japan wasn't in war in US when he allied them. Obviously, but if it wasn't for that alliance, it's quite probable that America wouldn't have joined the war until several years later, if at all.
>It had more advantages, like bombing Britain. Germany had air superiority without the jets. Not by the time the Me 262 was available in meaningful numbers. By then, Germany had already lost air superiority, and hundreds of Allied heavy bombers were hitting German cities on a regular basis. The Me 262 was never actually used to bomb Britain, and even if it had, it would be too little, too late to save Germany, even if it had the payload of a B-17. Not to mention, it didn't have much more range than a Me 109, so was hardly ideal for going to Britain anyway.

I'm not sure this is really going to be a bad thing seeing as the people who are against this are the same people who think net neutrality is bad

It's funny because Obama didn't give into pressure from the international community to turn ICANN over to the U.N back in 2012
Then NSA scandal hit and shit hit the fan. Obama isn't turning over shit, the people behind the Internets infrastructure are doing this as a response to the NSA scandal. Including ICANN.
Your 1st amendment rights aren't going to be lost as long as you use registries in free speech/unregulated nations.

This is why he won the GOP primary and this is why he is shit.

He's rich because people still pay him to slap his name on shit.
Lucas Morales
Once this happens, literally nothing on the internet is going to change because there are so many websites in existance, that managing all of them would be nigh impossible. That's why they're only monitoring .com and .org domains. They're the top two website domains, and the easiest to monitor. They're not gonna look at a .tk or .net site for fuck's sake. And I bet you the first and maybe only website that will be taken down will be gamergate, due to the amount of """hate speech""" that comes from it.
