- Mithaldu 11y agoI honestly like that its paywalled. If it were important it wouldn't be. Saves time.
- EwanG 11y agoWhich takes me to a google search page with the article as the top link, and when I click it I still get the paywall. Something I'm missing?
- dev1n 11y agoThat's odd. The idea is that WSJ allows non-paywalled referrals from google so I figured posting the link to the google search would help. Sorry about that. I don't know why it's still paywalled for you..
- leohutson 11y agoTry opening the Google link in incognito. Or don't, it's not really worth the effort to read such a biased piece.
- jnagro 11y agoworked for me.
- icpmacdo 11y agoincognito and whitelist WSJ from ad blockers

- wcummings 11y ago>It’s up to Congress to block a surrender that could give control to authoritarian rulers. Oh, the irony!
- dublinben 11y agoIf you know anything about the farce that is the UN Human Rights Council[0], the idea of some international coalition of governments having any control over the fundamental infrastructure of the internet should be concerning. All things considered, the IANA has been in good hands under the purview of ICANN and the US Department of Commerce.

- daveloyall 11y agoI don't really follow ICANN news. I have some vague idea that they've made some questionable moves over the past several years. I know nothing of the Obama administration's involvement. Could somebody translate the article into a form I understand? ICANN manages the sale/assignment of IP addresses and manages the Root DNS Servers, right? How does USA currently control them and what does the proposed change mean?
- rndmize 11y agoWasn't able to read the article since it was paywalled, but I'd guess this Economist piece is on the same matter: http://www.economist.com/news/international/21693922-organisation-runs-internet-address-book-about-declare-independence-we http://www.economist.com/news/international/21693922-organis...
- daveloyall 11y agowow it's a very, very different article! Try pasting the original url into the Google News search box in an incognito window.
