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.


I will simply the Daily Stomer as a perfect example of how this INDEED
gives them complete control over what people can or can't see on the
Internet. Despite the fact that freedom of speech protects the Daily
Stomer's objectionable content, domain name providers routinely
removed their ability to have a web site with an address other than
something like 164.68.32.1.



And abolishing net neutrality will change this? How?

Actually, the Daily Stormer's website is easily accessible, if you know how.


It is with Tor or now as a result of the fact that Anglin keeps
finding ways to get a domain name despite the UN and its numbskulls'
best efforts.
