" The domain name system is controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, over which the US Government retains Veto power...By controlling core systems the United States indirectly influences the way much of the world uses the internet. "
Four words make that statement a Dangerous euphemism 'core,''Veto,' 'indirectly,' and 'much' In view of the word core, replace veto, with monopoly, indirectly with directly,much with all. It's a control issue, and the retention of a veto in what was supposed to be a free system is a contradiction. There is no body with the power to overrule. Essentially, the 'US' must cede control. but when everyone is the 'enemy' including the general public how likely is that. How many of the over 17,500 three letter combinations have been registered? What scope is there for an alternate/pirate system? What if Non US internet organizations decided to ignore the veto? Does the internet have the capacity to operate beyond central control?
