Stop Obamao from giving control over the internet to russia, china, etc

Except your site says this:
"Removing the vestige of direct U.S. control over the DNS will deflate an argument that the multistakeholder process is a screen for American domination, say those in favor of doing so."
And believing a multi-country control over the internet
as a good model is dimwitted.

God forbid if China gets control of the internet. No porn. I don't know what's worse...no porn in China or porn with blurred out genitals like Japan. What's the point, Japan, what's the point?

Think of it this way - how many communist countries dominate
their media? They control every bit of content? State run?
With control over the internet, they could further do things
that they don't want the world to see.

I don't even know where to start.... you do understand what the internet is right? There really is no way for one government to force their type of censorship on another, especially one the size of ours, nor will there be. Countries such as China will continue to filter sites at a national level, the only thing that will change is how DNS addresses are assigned, and allow more nations to have an input going further for how domain names are determined and when to switch from ipv4/ipv6 to the next version. People/countries perceive that the US is dictating how it has been done since for years a fully owned US company has made the rules for who gets a .gov or a .com(etc.).
But since Obama did it, it must be wrong and horrible.

so other people/countries have no reason to believe the United States is dictating anything as you say at the end? Right?

The US company does not dictate what content is on the site itself but what determines what type of sites get .net or .com(etc), some countries felt that was dictating since no other country had input into the system and with the coming switch of top level domains from .com to .whatever it is more important that other countries input is heard.

but what I want to know is, is their own concern merely paranoia?

Partially, mostly its a preventive paranoia in regards to the upcoming change that I describe. When the change occurs there will need to be a group who decides what company gets top level domains such as .cars or .sports and other countries don't want to see only a US based country deciding who should control these names.

Of course, homer that I am, I'm all for that. So...
It's most likely exaggerated anyway but still I tend to err on the side of the US.

Being afraid of another country forcing their censorship on another country is ridiculous they can't even get sites like thepiratebay, wikileaks, or lemonparty off of the internet, I wouldn't worry about places like the Drudge being effected.

Piratebay and the rest have been banned at ISP level in the UK. Which means no torrents! Unless you go to anyone of a thousand sites that have popped up to circumvent the problem. Or spoof your IP address. Or buy a server in a country with no laws on internet (like sweden).
