Duffy ICANN Legislation Tells Administration "No You Cannot"

Statement

U.S. Congressman Sean Duffy (WI-07) continues his pursuit to protect a free and open Internet. This Congress he again introduced legislation following the Obama Administration's announcement that it will begin to cede the U.S.'s responsibility for managing critical internet functions known as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority beginning as early as this year. H.R. 355, The Global Internet Freedom (Gif) Act will prohibit the President from taking this action.

"As Americans, we value our Constitutional right of Freedom of Speech and have promoted this value throughout the world. We should not give up our stewardship of the internet so that the United Nations or countries like China or Russia, that do not hold free speech in the same regard, can have the opportunity to take control."
