Senator Ted Cruz just gave a speech in the Senate proposing adding an appropriations rider to the upcoming continuing resolution in an effort to halt the IANA transition.

He repeated many of the same false claims he has already made regarding the transition.

Cruz claims ICANN is an international body akin to the United Nations. He claims that the transition empowers China, Russia and Iran to censor the internet.

“Imagine searching the internet…and seeing a disclaimer that the information you’re looking for is censored,” he said. “It [the content] is not consistent with the standards of this new international body. It does not meet their approval.”

Um, ICANN isn’t a new international body. And it doesn’t control content.

Ted Cruz is out for TedCruz. If it wasn't for the largesse of "Uncle" Bob McNair, he'd be sponging off his wife.

He will stand for re-election in two years. I hope he gets primaries. I'd vote against him in a heartbeat.

Bill Clinton is against allowing control to being given up (maybe Hillary is to, but we won't know until she get over her "over heatedness")".

Mr. Clinton warned: “A lot of people who have been trying to take this authority away from the U.S. want to do it for the sole purpose of cracking down on Internet freedom and limiting it and having governments protect their backsides instead of empower their people.”
