Useless correction of Us population as of 2017 - 324,459,463 +/- a few hundred daily differences. ;)
On a separate note, Aug 26, 2016 it was reported :"While the administration and its defenders have denied that the UN will have authority over ICANN, the Wall Street Journal's L. Gordon Crovitz points out that ICANN will need to be run by a state agency in order to retain its antitrust exemption, which makes it almost certainly that the UN will step in to take control."
Crovitz notes:
It's shocking the administration admits it has no plan for how Icann retains its antitrust exemption. The reason Icann can operate the entire World Wide Web root zone is that it has the status of a legal monopolist, stemming from its contract with the Commerce Department that makes Icann an “instrumentality†of government.
Without the U.S. contract, Icann would seek to be overseen by another governmental group so as to keep its antitrust exemption. Authoritarian regimes have already proposed Icann become part of the U.N. to make it easier for them to censor the internet globally. So much for the Obama pledge that the U.S. would never be replaced by a “government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution.â€
From newspapers to radio, then TV, then cable TV, satellite radio and TV, to social media ON the internet.. The Internet is still something that is relatively uncontrolled thanks to the 1A. But anyone here that may watch certain gun channels on youtube, another Google subsidiary, almost EVERY one of those channels have in the last month been facing heavy censorship and demonetization of their videos on youtube. Many right-winged channels claiming Anti-Media or Alternative media are facing similar issues.
What may seem like minimal collateral damage to most is really scrutiny and massive effort to silence those on the right-sided side of things in an effort to control what you see, think, like, dislike, vote for, buy, hate..etc..
