RE: What Will Happen to Steemit Once a Global Entity Controls ICANN?
I undertand your concerns but I also understand why they are doing it.
It looks bad to have it under the control of one country. - I can't think of a good way to do it that is safe and also makes everyone happy though.
This is why we need decentralisation of the whole system so no government can restrict freedom of information.
I suppose that is part of what MAID SAFE were trying to do and in some respects NAMECOIN - not sure if NMC even exists anymore.
I agree, but I also believe that at least for a time it will cut off a significant portion of the "mainstream" population from having access to non-government approved information ... assuming the worst is ahead.
There are several options which you mention as well as Qora (which may be the easiest to use) and ...

But I think getting the masses to accept and use these tools is unlikely, which is why this move is concerning to me. Governments in the future will likely be able to easily control information on the Internet via a group who do whatever they say while relieving that government of any responsibility or bad press from a website being blocked or taken down completely.
In this scenario they will likely be able to fill the Internet with their pro-government propaganda while thwarting any information to the contrary from being easily seen by the people. I understand that this view seems somewhat extreme, but I do believe it is a valid concern and do believe it is why this move is being initiated under the guise of "it's because of Edward Snowden".
We are dealing with manipulating masterminds operating behind a curtain, controlling our airwaves and now they want to control all of the information that is presented to the populous. I do not buy the notion that world leaders are working against one another, I believe they are working with one another in a very coordinated effort to keep us enslaved and this is just another well planned move to assure that they do just that.
I think we are already seeing a lot of this for example in China. It is straight out of George Orwell's 1984 (one of my favourite books sadly it is coming to pass).
Oh yes I remember seeing that too. Great idea.
I think the masterminds are the super wealthy and major multinational world corporations. I'm not sure we can do anything about it though. It's quite depressing.
China? The us alphabet soups have been doing cover ups and deleting sites and info since before morse code or the internet... we may be beyond what orwell conceived.
And those guys had nothing to do with obama or government...no authoity was given by anyone...they just did it. Secerecy aids in lack of oversite and checks and balances...but even secerets of all types will soon be impossible to keep locked down
It seems you and I think exactly alike!
Nmc exists otherwise none of these coins would
