Where's your fighting spirit you faggots?! We're just going to let this happen?
>The Obama White House will allow bylaws to expire that hand internet power to global parties. The internet is tied to ICANN, an American-controlled private nonprofit organization. ICANN has certain antitrust exemptions under the US Commerce Department. After October 1, the contract securing antitrust exemption expires.
>It’s a change to who controls domain registrations. >“It is a big deal, because it ends First Amendment protections over the web,”
>Under the Obama administration’s plan, the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which overseas the World Wide Web, intends to transfer stewardship of domain name system functions, formally known as Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
>In an Aug. 16 statement, NTIA Administrator Lawrence E. Strickling said ICANN has met all of its objectives to be ready to take over Oct. 1, when the NTIA allows its contract with ICANN to expire.
>“Right now, the only real protection that exists on the web is not from Facebook, Google, Yahoo or even Breitbart, but it is from the U.S. government contract with ICANN which means that ICANN cannot limit speech by arranging contracts with GoDaddy and others,” he said.
>Without the U.S. contract, Icann would seek to be overseen by another governmental group so as to keep its antitrust exemption. Authoritarian regimes [such as Saudi Arabia and China] have already proposed Icann become part of the U.N. to make it easier for them to censor the internet globally. So much for the Obama pledge that the U.S. would never be replaced by a “government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution."
>Of particular concern is the fact that the Obama administration continues to work to hand the Internet over to ICANN despite a specific rider in the federal budget for 2016 forbidding it:
>“Sec. 539. (a) None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to relinquish the responsibility of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, during fiscal year 2016, with respect to Internet domain name system functions, including responsibility with respect to the authoritative root zone file and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority functions.”
>>Congress can still act to prevent the transfer: Sen. Ted Cruz (Rato-TX) and Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) have introduced the Protecting Internet Freedom Act, which would prevent the transfer of ICANN without Congressional approval.
CALL YOUR FUCKING REPRESENTATIVES NAO!!!
>Friday, Sep 02, 2016 >10:00 a.m.: Convene for a pro forma session.
Senate meets again tomorrow morning. Find your congressmen here: senate.gov/senators/contact/# Light their phone lines up and flood their email. Fill out the contact form if your guy has one. Remind anyone under Class III they're up for reelection next year.
>Of particular concern is the fact that the Obama administration continues to work to hand the Internet over to ICANN despite a specific rider in the federal budget for 2016 forbidding it Why isn't someone suing them over this?

Calling your representatives won't do shit, your government is too corrupt to do their jobs. We need a better plan.
Charles Bell
Because we're letting them get away with it. Congress is cucked to shit. The only thing that gets their attention is whether their chance for reelection is in jeopardy.
Oliver Wood
Blow me leaf
Easton Stewart
The internet is just the infrastructure connecting our computers, most of which isn't in the united states,
the question is what exactly does this mean? as soon as some faggots try to put filters on the lines, its going to cause us to basically take it back (esp. if MAGA) at least for our own shores.
so i doubt anything major is going to happen if you're American. Probably seriously about to get fukt if dumb Gerministan dindu or Frog fag
Luis Gomez
You'd think an NGO would at least try and take legal action for blatant violation of the law.
Julian Jackson
Remember when people tried to get BLM on the terrorist list, and had to get x amount of signatures? They might have done it to ban beiber too.
Isaiah Jackson
>turning over control of the Internet
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
wew lads that's stupid!
*Yawn!*
The corporation that hands out domain names and IP addresses is moving to Los Angeles and the new owners are foreigners? No big deal.
Rick Manning is a total retard. Does he think the web is a bunch of pipes too?
Besides, Breitbart is not a news source, it only comments on the stories that legitimate news outlets gather.
0/10 could not bang
Oliver James

Julian Brooks
Call em up
Only thing I expect from my government these days is to be gradually fucked over a little bit more at every turn. Like this faggot

Luis Stewart
Commiefornian here, I don't even bother calling my repa and senators anymore, they always go for the bullshit option.
Maybe one day I'll live in a free state
Nicholas Garcia
You should move to Canada
Call them anyway. Get your friends in on it too. Even the libcuck commie bastards will care about this one.
Leo Brown
I called John Cornyn to support ted cruzs protect internet freedom act
Now on to my congressmen
Hunter Gonzalez
Good man. Thank you user.
Blake Foster
So what are the chances of Congress stepping in and telling King Nigger to fuck off?
Jack Long
This is really important and a type of thing that calling your representatives does work. I asked my congressman to be bipartisan and get democrats against this
Cooper Thomas
100%
Sebastian Roberts
>First Amendment protections over the web Lol
Samuel Garcia
High hopefully
This is just a way around the pesky constitution they abhor so they can take down urls that point to hate speech
Kayden Carter
Its a freedom thing you wouldn't understand bong
Landon Martin
Do it anyways, convince others to do so as well. Go for something that will appeal to leftists, like "this will give big shady corporations the power to control the Internet".
Jordan Reyes
0 if we all do nothing, if we ensure they're aware just gotta many of their constituents exist who've never voted in their lives that would get out there and vote for their opponent next round if they let this shit go through, and that's not even taking into account all of the folks who do regularly vote and donate to campaigns and shit that will be similarly pissed off at their representatives for not doing their goddamn jobs.
Angel Clark
Freedom to seize any site if it ends with .com because MUH ICAAN
Jaxson Walker
Well in my opinion, first and foremost we need to discredit the transfer of power over to the new organization. Whether its a trolly petition to get attention and make the issue too hot, or actual dirt.
Kayden Turner
0, possibly even lower.
Jason James
>Utubes giving a taste of things to come
tfw accidently shrunk the kids and neck deep in shitposters
If the un gets control they won't even need a valid reason to take sites down
William Cox
I hope everyone ITT reads this post.
THIS GUY GETS IT
Try to get your friends to call too if you can. They figure every person who actually calls in is indicative of however many else who feel the same but don't bother to call. Confirming that to them by having a bunch of different folks contacting them over the same issue is what gets them nervous about potentially losing votes.
James Perez
0% congress is full of cuck betamax republicunt israel worshipers. They won't do anything that would make the jews mad.
Juan Carter
One of the articles referenced in the op touches upon how the Saudis calling the shots will wreak havoc on the lgbt community. I'd go with that angle.
Adrian Clark
America is getting what it voted for. If America is dumb enough to vote for Hillary they will also get whats coming to us.
STOP VOTING FOR THESE ANTI-AMERICA LEADERS!!!
Anthony Peterson
Oh, that's a good one. If you're going to mention the Saudis, mentioning their oppressive treatment of women and their donations to Shillary should also help (especially the latter on bernouts)
Aaron Martin
Holy so many fucking shills in here
>Hurr durr we are just giving control to a foreign private Corp it's a non-issue boys
Obama is a fucking traitor
Zachary Diaz
Bump for justice and freedom.
Thomas Morales
Fuck. Should've put this in the OP.
EMPHASIZE URGENCY GUYS
RATO'S BILL SO FAR HAS ONLY BEEN INTRODUCED
CALL EVERY DAY AND ASK WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO GET THIS PUSHED THROUGH ASAP, AND IF THEY SAY NOTHING YET ASK THEM WHY THE HELL NOT
Bentley Russell
Right now is a perfect time because there is a discussion on it tomorrow morning.
Jack Brown
If you've got a plan then get on it. I'm not saying this is the only way to go about this, I'm saying it takes 5 fucking minutes out of your day to make use of a system already in place specifically for stuff like this. Do other things too if you think it could help, please. But call your reps as well.
Mason King
EFF needs to get on this. I know they are libturds but wtf.
Bentley Young
We're way beyond tastetesting here, jewtube finally rolling over too is among the final nails in the coffin.
John Gomez
Are Saudis included as part of twitter and fb's venerated islam is protected class nonsense or do they count as being outside of the """"moderate"""" mudslimes? Getting an infograph and a hashtag going with the find your reps links wouldn't be a bad idea. Appealing to the bernouts might need to be a plebbit deal, pretty sure any anti-hillary stuff on twitter/fb gets actively suppressed.
Need some input from anons who know the social media outlets.
Hudson King
Amen.
David Butler
That...is a really good point, wtf are they that far gone?
Connor Edwards
I thought most of the people on Senate were already going to block this? Did something change?
Angel Bailey
Only when the last endangered tree is cut down you will understand how selfish and arrogant you are been. And then the Earth gasses you for that.
Good riddance.
Ayden Johnson
It was introduced on june 8. It hasn't been touched since june 8. congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/3034/text Obongo's making his move in a month. If congress is already planning to fasttrack this thing, you know something we don't, which would be wonderful news indeed. So...sauce?
Jacob Perez
Well, some of their emails were mysteriously deleted and someone suicide prevention "classes" happened so people don't accidentally shoot themselves twice in the back of the head.
David Thompson
I just heard that people on Senate were against it like 2 weeks ago when I first heard about this ordeal. No idea on sauce because I can't remember if I saw that here or elsewhere.
Aaron Reed
Oh ffs them too?! Son of a fuck, these people are cretins.
Ryan Evans
...
Benjamin Williams
Call your reps just in case then. The fact this is hardly in the news at all should be all the cause for concern you need.
Alexander Watson
Neat. Didn't even notice. >God save the queen! >GodEmperor save us yanks! >Kek save the internets! I like this. This is good.
CALL YOUR KEKGRESSMEN
Daniel King
Right. Anything specific I should say or is DON'T ALLOW ICANN TO FALL INTO FOREIGN HANDS good enough?
Easton Thomas
honestly? fuck the internet. who cares.
Levi Ward
That's fine. Asking about the status of bill 3034 and saying it needs to be pushed through quick is good too. Mention you and your are all expecting this to be dealt with. Keep the pressure on.
Jose Sanchez
Thanks for the bump
Benjamin Thompson
Right thanks. I'll call right after I'm done cooking
Cameron Roberts
Good on you, thanks user.
Jeremiah Young
How does it end 1st Amendment protections?
Jayden Morgan
Alright, made my calls.
Fucking Obama could have had an easy ride for the rest of the year but of course he has to try to fuck everything up.
tldr if Saudi Arabia, China, and the rest of the UN faggots don't like your content, your site is kill
Ethan James
Thanks again.
He's going to go all out and do as much damage as he can while he's still got the chance. Fucking nightmare.
Camden Jenkins
Nah breh, they're trying to put our elections under the stewardship of the UN to fuck us just like they do everyone else with globalism
Jacob Morris
Because it goes from being a public service with government controls, like radio, to a luxury item under the control of its owner, like Carlos Slim's New York Times.
Aaron Russell
>foreign company operating in the Us >thinking its subject to the same laws as the government
You know the 1st amendment is "congress shall make no law" right? Companies can ban speech.
Nicholas Ward
>provide work visas to millions of illegal immigrants >trying to give internet away without Congress approval >trying to sign climate treaty with UN without approval >appears on comedy segments to cultivate a cool image >braindead Americans eat that shit up and think you're amazing The comments really kill me. I really hope these are kids and not voters. youtube.com/watch?v=UM-Q_zpuJGU
Daniel Mitchell
Calm down son.The people,and when I say people I mean taxpayers, we got this. Just watch.
Connor Richardson
Yeah no. Gib plan. I'm not a sit and watch kind of kid. Informing my reps that they're being fucking retards and reminding them we'll vote for the seemingly-not-retard next round is more my style.
William Davis
Cruz Missile is literally trying to get vengeance on us by killing the internet. >Bill Clintons internet CZAR >A FUCKING CZAR What aitists write bills in the US
Charles Peterson
> muh next round
Jackson Morris
we need to be prepared in case 'undesirable' sites are shut down.
if all else fails we should start bombing and tagging real life walls and billboards with pepe graffiti and posters assembling and protesting with other citizens in our towns/cities/counties will also be incredibly effective if they shut down the net.
we need to organize with the normies. if we act rational and don't sperg out then we can red pill them when shit really starts going down.
John Morris
How is Obama so bad? He hasn't had any scandals or anything
Jacob Richardson
Bumping till I get home to my desktop
Aiden Jenkins
>the eternal black dick penetrates into this reality to cuck you one final time
Wyatt Edwards
Strangely enough, I think he's actually trying to save it. Doubt his motives have any of us in mind but whatever, it's better than nothing.
Yep. It's the only thing they give a shit about.
Hudson Allen
You ever notice how Obama and Osama Bin Laden look the exact same?
Ian Fisher
No more elections to you. Who cares.
Isaiah Russell
Did you ever notice how you can change one letter and suddenly it's the same name?
Joseph Murphy
>we need to organize with the normies. if we act rational and don't sperg out then we can red pill them when shit really starts going down. Bruh if you're not doing this already you need to start 5 min ago at the absolute latest.
>if we act rational and don't sperg out then we can red pill them This works really really well too. >"You're the first person I've talked to who supports Trump that actually has worthwhile things to say" I've heard that a whole bunch of times this year. I am nothing special kek. What I take that to mean is >"You're the first person I've talked to who supports Trump" but hey that's libtards for you. Anyway. Talk sense and people will listen. Key is to get them wondering but not give them everything so they'll go look into it themselves to find out more.
William Ortiz
ITT people who think ICANN control the backbone
You people are dumb, private telecomm companies already control the backbone of the internet (ie: AT&T)
ICANN literally has very little affect o n the internet and is for domain names and standarization of ports and ips.
Aaron Mitchell
ITP shill who recently searched the topic and projects his ignorance onto others
Juan Ramirez
I changed the 'm' to an 'n'. (Obana, Osana) WTF are you talking about?
Ryan Lee
wew let's see >$20 trillion in debt >"what? it's unconstitutional? lol nah fuck that, I'll executive order this bitch" >shitting on our allies >literally fucking bowing to our enemies >race relations >white guilt agenda >america is bad and should feel bad agenda >crippling our military >"nah, fuck the veterans" >alphabet agencies are hamstrung, stonewalled, and more corrupt than we've ever seen >don't get me started on immigration There's enough to get you started
Thanks for the bump. Be safe user, we'll be here.
Joshua Foster
Thanks for keeping it bumped Estonia
Josiah Robinson
Come on, I'm at least keeping it bumped. You could answer a troll.
Aaron Wood
Archive all your "redpill" material. Those will be the first things to be wiped away. A safer Internet for everyone!
Thomas Collins
Do you think this is a game? This is real fucking life, kiddo.
Isaiah Cox
Real life IS a fucking game, moron. That's why the sociopaths win and the people with empathy lose.
Austin Martin
Bump. I hope Trump brings this shit up. Someone needs to explain to him why it's important.
