I support getting all of the major [and minor] control structures of the Internet out of the hands of the US, but that is easier said than done. They have most of the major pathways and nodes; they have most of the satellites and cables that transmit it; they have most of the levers of control and won't give 'em up without a fight and dirty tricks; they have the companies in their borders that make most of the software in which they put NSA backdoors...and more. The UK and Israel are likely the #2s in this and have their own and coordinated with US agreements to control the internet - as well as spy on it and be able to shut it down, if they like. I wish us all luck in this endeavor. At least a start has been made!
