the water us frogs are sitting in gets hotter by the day, as this article demonstrates.

The Internet of Things, and the Internet.  In October of 2016, just before the Presidential election, Obama (through his Secretary of Commerce) quietly and without fanfare transferred U.S. control of the Internet over to ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).  “Big deal,” many have said, “what effect does it have?”  You’re beginning to see that effect now.
The EU (European Union) has already put in motion plans to vote on Article 13 of the Copyright Directive Proposal.  This will have an effect of complete censorship on the entire Internet.  It will institute a “link tax” on websites that link to one another, in the efforts to “promote control over copyrights,” etc., etc., ad nauseam.
