Americans Strongly Oppose Obama’s Internet Handover



by NEIL W. MCCABE30 Aug 2016

There is overwhelming opposition to President Barack Obama’s plan to hand over control of the Internet to an international advisory body, 41 percent against with 14 percent supporting, according to the Breitbart/Gravis poll of 1,493 likely voters released Friday.

“In addition to the high oppostion, the 44 percent who are unsure really means that many, many Americans are not following the story,” said Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based firm that executed the poll. The poll carries a margin of error of 2.5 percent.

“It is a big deal, because it ends First Amendment protections over the web,” he said

As long as ICANN is working under the cover of the federal government and the protections guaranteed in the Constitution, the Internet remains free, he said.
