What Will Happen to Steemit Once a Global Entity Controls ICANN?

Governments in the future will likely be able to easily control information on the Internet via a group who do whatever they say while relieving that government of any responsibility or bad press from a website being blocked or taken down completely

I think we are already seeing a lot of this for example in China. It is straight out of George Orwell's 1984 (one of my favourite books sadly it is coming to pass).

Oh yes I remember seeing that too. Great idea.

We are dealing with manipulating masterminds operating behind a curtain, controlling our airwaves and now they want to control all of the information that is presented to the populous.

I think the masterminds are the super wealthy and major multinational world corporations. I'm not sure we can do anything about it though. It's quite depressing.

China? The us alphabet soups have been doing cover ups and deleting sites and info since before morse code or the internet... we may be beyond what orwell conceived.

And those guys had nothing to do with obama or government...no authoity was given by anyone...they just did it. Secerecy aids in lack of oversite and checks and balances...but even secerets of all types will soon be impossible to keep locked down
