It may well be that political activists discover this whole ICANN thing and realize they have a golden opportunity to have California laws applied to black/delist sites they dislike, organizations they think are racist, etc.

The Southern Law Poverty Center, the Simon Wiesenthal Hate Center, and other ZOG-controlled commie organizations will likely be going into overtime.

DNS and the root servers are a single point of failure in the global Internet, and one that is easily pressured to delete pointers to speech that is deemed politically incorrect.

It can also be an excellent single point of DoS attack for hacktivists. A few days of DNS unavailability and poof go most of the ISP caches.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least, if in the near future, sites deemed to be monkeywrenching the system wind up having to be addressed by numeric IPs, and even having their packets derouted.

This is a compelling reason for promoting the widespread use of censorship-resistant peer-to-peer systems such as Mojo Nation. Although MN URLs now supports only location-based identification akin to IP addressing, name-based addressing is under development. --steve
