What is actually happening when (biased) news reported Obama is giving away the internet?
I was reading some news articles about Obama supposedly giving away control of the internet, but I'm not sure what that means. Can you explain it to me?
Absolutely. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a nonprofit organization responsible for managing domain names and IP addresses, has been under the authority of the US government since its inception in the 1990s. In 2016, the US government decided to transition oversight of ICANN to a global multistakeholder community. This means that ICANN will no longer be under direct US government control.
