Did you actually read up on what that means? The US
is giving up oversight of DNS, which is basically the phone
book of URLs that allows you to reach a website. It's
not a notable transition and doesn't give the UN control
over your use of the Internet. Giving up Net neutrality
*does* mean you lose control. Comcast or Verizon *can*
block you from visiting specific sites if the law is changed
to give them control.

Any reason for that? You don't like new information?
You don't like your beliefs complicated by details? The rest
of my post was just explaining the details of how you
can protect your privacy and freedom online. You said
that was what you were interested in. You're afraid
you'll lose your freedom to Google and Facebook. I'm
telling you how not to let that happen.

So it seems you actually don't care about online
freedom. What do you care about? The luscious pleasure
of righteous indignation? Watch out. The people telling
you what to be mad about are not trying to help.
They're just plutocrats who put greed before humanity.
They know that they need to inflame popular opinion
with one hand if they want to get away with stealing
your money with the other hand. You're being played.

I suppose you haven't actually looked at the current
tax bill either. But you're probably for it, right? You
want the gov't to stop wasting money to do things
like helping paraplegics with medicaid and providing
health care to the elderly who've paid for that healthcare
through SS taxes? Did you know that's exactly what Paul
Ryan says he wants to cut once he cuts taxes for the
rich? Read the paper. Read your own right-wing media.
People like Ryan are not even hiding their lies. They
know they can just throw out trigger phrases like "fake
news", "liberal media", and "government waste", and
millions of people will believe whatever follows.
