On Saturday; October 1, 2016, the U.S. government ceded control of the Internet’s core systems – namely, the directories that help web browsers and apps know where to find the latest weather, maps and Facebook musings. No single government, business, organization or individual controls all the computers and pipelines making up the internet, but the network relies on an addressing system called the domain name system, or DNS, which includes directories that help route data like Email and web requests where it needs to go. And someone needs to run the DNS. Control over the DNS mostly amounts to deciding what gets included in those directories. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), now has oversight of the Internet.
