Idiot Christians Think President Obama Gave Away The Internet

Here's the story as Snopes told it about a month ago:

America ... does, currently, oversee the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the nonprofit entity that controls the critically important Domain Naming System (DNS), which is responsible for coordinating the domain name hierarchy and IP addressing for the entire Internet.

This week it was announced that, by prior arrangement, ICANN will be cut loose on 1 October 2016 from its sole government steward, the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and become answerable to multiple stakeholders worldwide, including countries, businesses and technical bodies.

The terms of the transition were laid out in 2014, when NTIA announced that it was ready to make good on the U.S. government's longstanding commitment to privatize the Domain Naming System.

Here's the story as some Christians are telling it today: 

Christians Join in a Desperate Last Ditch
Fight to Retain U.S. Internet Control

(Washington, DC) – [CBN News] Leaders are stepping up in a last-ditch effort to stop President Obama from giving up Internet freedom "while there's still time."

The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) urged Congress today to stop the Obama administration from giving up U.S. control over the Internet address system on October 1.

The administration plans to pass web oversight to a broader online community, removing oversight of the Internet from the supervision of a single U.S.-monitoring body.

Many are concerned this move could endanger free speech on the internet. Jay Sekulow from the American Center for Law and Justice believe this internet transition could be disastrous.

"Once America gives up control of the Internet, there is no reset button. The Internet could very well fall into the hands of the world's most anti-free speech dictators, and we could do absolutely nothing about it," Sekulow said in a statement.

That is why the NRB is doing everything it can to keep this measure from going forward.

John 8:32 said that the truth will set you free ... but today’s Christians think it just fucks up a good story.
