DING! DING! DING! Obama’s giveaway of U.S. internet control on Oct 1st has been HALTED, as four states take him to court
Top law enforcement officials in four states filed suit Wednesday to delay the Obama administration’s proposed transfer on October 1st of a critical Internet agency to an international authority, saying the grantee would have the power to “effectively enable or prohibit the exercise of free speech on the Internet.”
Hopefully, this move will tie them up in court until Donald Trump can toss this anti-American, anti-free speech plan into the trashbin of dumbest ideas.
Washington Examiner (h/t flame) The complaint, filed by Republican attorneys general in Arizona, Oklahoma, Nevada and Texas, argues the transfer violates several components of the administration’s statutory authority.
The administration’s plan to sign ownership of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority over to international Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers on Friday would consign the critical function of governance to an international community, the complaint contends, rendering the Web vulnerable to censorship by foreign powers, despite what the rules say.
