Your question is not relevant to the issue at hand. You can read about the ICANN handover from your news provider of choice and the issue remains the same.

Once ICANN is outside of US Jurisdiction, international law can be used to censor the internet without the first amendment as a barrier.

So you can't answer it. It's relevant because they are sourced for posts so often.

If you can't give an answer to the fucking question, then say that, don't make fucking excuses.

Again, it CAN, lots of things CAN happen. You CAN answer what I asked. We aren't the world police, accept that things are different outside of the US.

We don't have to be the world police. We invented the internet. The American people paid for it. We have let it spread throughout the world, but it remains our asset. An asset of immeasurable value by the way. If the whole world united to ask that we hand over Yellow Stone Park would we do so? Hell no! it is one of our most valuable national assets and it is priceless. Just like control of the internet, an asset owned by the US and priceless. And you would argue that it should be turned over, at no cost, to a group that does not share our core values. The first amendment was the first for a reason. We as American people value freedom of speech above all other rights. We should never consider turning over the internet to any body that does not guarantee that value will continued to be protected indefinitely.
