FEC war: Dems reject call to protect Internet news, talk radio from regs
Internet Transfer happened Oct 1, 2016 and along with the above article we can see the hand writing on the wall...
Obama-UN Internet Surrender: Last Paragraph quotes below
...Szoka then summarizes five of the open legal concerns that must be addressed by the courts and Congress:
1. The U.S. government has long exercised exclusive control over who may edit the Root Zone File that ties together the Internet, and that abandoning this government property right requires Congressional authorization;
2. Absent a firm guarantee that ICANN will protect free speech, converting what has been a public forum into a private one would violate the First Amendment;
3. NTIA violated administrative law by failing to build an adequate record and respond to public comment on the matter;
4. NTIA lacks statutory authority to cede responsibility over the Domain Name System; and
5. By failing to secure U.S. ownership of .GOV, NTIA is tortiously interfering with the contracts that states hold for their .GOV domain names.
As that famous philosopher (and sometime baseball legend) Yogi Berra sagely remarked, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” And the battle for control over the Internet is far from over. Despite a huge public outcry, Congress avoided its duty and ducked out of this fray 48 hours before Obama’s ICANN transfer was set to take place. That outcry must continue — and grow — and Congress must be put on notice that this fraudulent transfer is unconstitutional and unacceptable. It can be, and must be, reversed....

Question:
How long will sites like this one or CARM, or other Christian sites be allowed on the net?
Do you think the bible will be banned?

Re: So it begins
Christianity is the world's largest religion and most of the world's wealthiest, strongest nations are predominantly Christian, so yes, it stands to reason that soon Christianity will be eliminated from the Internet and the Bible will be banned. That's just logic.

Do you have a link where you got info that the world's wealthiest, strongest nations, are predominantly Christian?
I just don't see that.

One must believe in Christ t be a Christian, to believe in Christ to be a Christian preacher, yes?

Re: So it begins
And where's the info about them being majority Christian?edwardmurphy wrote:Here's by GDP. I believe that 14 of the top 20 have Christian majorities.
Here they are ranked by military strength. Looks like 6 of the top 10 are majority Christian, including 3 of the top 5.
If I remember right, about half of the countries in the world have Christian majorities.

Re: So it begins
Well, it's simple logic that many with an anti-Christian agenda, given enough power and ability to shut down Christian content, would most certainly do so. After all, Christian views and speech are two of the most threatening things facing the world today, right???!!!Edward: it stands to reason that soon Christianity will be eliminated from the Internet and the Bible will be banned. That's just logic.

Re: So it begins
Are you being serious? The US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Australia, Spain, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Switzerland have all had Christian majorities for as long as they've existed (apart from Russia's relatively brief experiment with communism). Asking me to prove that is like asking for evidence that water is wet. I can prove it, but I'm assuming some prior knowledge on your part. The 14th country is South Korea. Their biggest category is actually "Meh, whatever" but Christianity is 2nd.RickD wrote:And where's the info about them being majority Christian?

Re: So it begins
Really, perhaps we can't expect a non-Christian to understand who is/isn't a Christian on our terms. In a way, it is similar to Muslims -- we brand them all Muslim -- and there is truth to such even if some Muslims do not see others as truly Muslim.
What is better, I think, is the a test like what PaulS put forward. Not simply those who claim to be Christian, but rather possess hallmarks of what we'd deem Christian i.e., claim belief in Christ, believe he died and physically rose again, that all have sinned and fall short of God, that we need forgiveness and to be redeemed by another in order to avoid God's wrath, perhaps Trinitarian and the like -- though ultimately it is one's belief in Christ.

Re: So it begins
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. How is the UN going to make the internet better? Silly question I know because it can't.
Globalist ideals in action. Everything this prez has touched has turned into a mess, this unnecessary internet surrender will be no different.
