Technically, this is incorrect. There is no mechanism, even theoretical, by which ICANN could unilaterally shut down a website (well, other than their own of course) be it demanded by judicial order or not. Or are you suggesting there is the perception by the "ignorant" and that ICANN can do this and that "they will learn"?

Sorry, I don't understand this statement. What are "critical internet resources" over which people within US borders have control and those outside don't?
