Obama's Plan to Give Government Control of Website Naming to Private Group Is 'Dangerous,' Franklin Graham Says - Christian Post
Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling President Barack Obama's decision for the United States to relinquish government control of a key component of the Internet to a private organization "dangerous" and "a shame."
Writing on his Facebook page Thursday, Graham said of the Obama administration's move to turn over government control of the Domain Naming System (DNS) to a private international organization based in California: "This isn't smart. It's another dangerous decision in a long line of bad policy moves by our government. This could potentially weaken our country and allow others access that could bring us harm."
The transfer is set to occur on October 1 and some conservative groups, although not opposed in principle as is Graham, still argue that it is a subversion of congressional authority.
TechFreedom president Berin Szóka said Tuesday that the move is "a deliberate affront to Congress. It is doing something Congress expressly told the NTIA not to do and it is dangerously erosive of the rule of law and the Constitution's separation of powers," he said in press release on his website.
