I think ICANN still has the power to censor .es domains.

Technically this is true, but it would cause a revolt that would just end up destroying ICANN.

Yes, because American's are so rebellious that any attempt to suppress their liberties coughpatriotactcough results in a revolt...

Actually, 99% of American rebelliousness is in merely quoting the constitution and the 4 amendments in a world and a political and law system that has render most of those obsolete in practice...

For example, the "right to bear arms" meant something WHEN people could use those to overturn their government --now, it's just an excuse for people to get guns to "protect their property" against robberies and such.


If ICANN starts breaking non-US domains, I have a feeling it's not Americans who would revolt.
