Other entities, like churches for example, exist within California but aren't especially controlled by California law. ICANN probably "needs" no greater regulation than a church does: The building it's in will probably follow California building codes, and the people who work there will pay US and California taxes. But other than this, it is unclear why ICANN should even be controllable by California law?
If companies and even health clubs are subjected to Calfornia's various laws about discrimination, hate crimes, and other political correctness issues, why would ICANN, a California corporation _not_ be subject to these various rules and regulations? (By including "health clubs," I don't mean building code or health regulations. I mean things like the law banning gyms from discriminating against women, though women-only clubs are still legal. The chick lawyers got this exemption put into law...something about "providing protected spaces for womyn." Many other examples abound of California law being used as an instrument of majoritarian herd rule politics.) 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. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
