I don't really know if the IANA should be managed by an international body, but the fact that Ted Cruz and the President of National Religious Broadcasters are in favor of this bill automatically make me think this bill is trying to prohibit speech or invade privacy. And the fact that "President, Americans for Limited Government" is supporting maintaining government control of the Internet makes it sound like standard right-wing hypocrisy. And the fact they frame the bill as an attack on Obama makes it even more suspect.
If ICANN is intentionally lobbying people like this, it automatically makes me think that it should lose the contract, regardless of the quality of their actual stewardship.
- dfsegoat 10y agoCruz (no matter what you think of him) is from a family that fled an oppressive dictatorship, and he also specialized in constitutional law at Harvard (and argued Heller vs. DC for the 2A), why would he want to "prohibit speech"?
