He is talking about what the www runs on top of, the internet, created by DARPA (THE USA). The UN wants control of the Naming Systems, The Backbone, The Architecture. You already know this, but were looking to obfuscate the facts.

Obfuscation and Deflecting, this is a pattern in your posts. Let's ignore who started your 'little war'.

I believe his point was, "The UN is trying to jack control of the internet". If the UN were to ever get control, which will not happen, it would be the worst thing that could happen. Right from the start I can only assume this would be their backdoor opportunity to impose their long sought after worldwide taxation.

All of this is a pointless conversation, as it will NEVER happen. I chuckle everytime I see them talk about it, as they have no power, but to beg. Even most of Europe knows, that things have run without issues with the USA controlling it, and to put it in the hands of the UN would be the most counterproductive decision ever made, except for maybe creating the UN in the first place.
