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.

Here is my answer to your irrelevant question.

If you do not find Breitbart to be a reliable source, you do not have to take their word for anything. If you do not like the way they cherry picked their quotes to generate the headline I can understand that. Feel free to find a source you prefer.

Use a search engine to look up the ICANN handover and read about if from your preferred information provider. Ted Cruz has been pretty vocal about it lately so you can listen to what he has been saying if you prefer him as a source.
