BREAKING: ICANN has voted to REJECT the sale of the .ORG registry to private equity firm Ethos Capital. This is a major victory for the millions of nonprofits, civil society organizations, and individuals who make .ORG their home online. #SaveDotOrg icann.org/news/blog/ican… The text of the first two paragraphs of the accompanying URL: Today, the ICANN Board made the decision to reject the proposed change of control and entity conversion request that Public INterest Registr (PIR) submitted to ICANN
We commend ICANN on hearing the concerns of nearly a thousand organizations and over 50,000 people who demanded it reject the sale.

Your voices protected every .ORG website, and everyone who depends on them. savedotorg.org
During this pandemic, nonprofits and the communities they serve depend more than ever before on the Internet. This is not just a victory for the web; this is a victory for aid organizations, corporate watchdogs, museums, clubs, and everyone working in the public interest.
We applaud every organization that stood up for .ORG as the NGO sector's home online, and especially @NTENorg and @NatlCouncilNPs for their leadership and refusal to compromise.
Now, ICANN must begin a competitive, transparent process to identify a trustworthy and willing steward for the .ORG domain. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
EFF members are playing a critical role in protecting the future of .ORG. This win wouldn't be possible without help from thousands of supporters fighting for Internet freedom.

Internet controls are increasing and tightening globally. In response, we’ve updated our SSD guide for understanding online censorship! Throughout the week, we'll be showing some explainers from our new guide, tagged with #CensorshipExplained. ssd.eff.org/en/module/unde…
#CensorshipExplained In this regular connection, your computer connects to eff.org. The request for that website is passed along through various devices, such as your home network router and your ISP, before reaching EFF. The website loads! However...
#CensorshipExplained In this diagram, the request for eff.org’s IP address is modified by the Internet Service Provider. The ISP interferes with the DNS resolver, and the IP address response is changed to give an incorrect answer or no answer.
