In my opinion the UN push is political........I believe there is a push from some countries to control the content......not just the Porn,but anything that has to do with free speech because it threatens their way of life

Much of the "non-free" world gets it's accurate news from the internet. Prior to this, the governments could essentially filter the news content and keep the populace ignorant and happy. Some countries block internet access to other countries due to the content - restricting free speech and press.
If the UN gets control of the internet, I'm sure they would open the floodgates and allow anyone to have access - (nudge-nudge-wink-wink) I just don't think they would sanction the countries that keep filters in place. I am also sure that any anti-UN web sites would be shut down or just not in the nameservers.
Like it or not, the best way to keep the internet free is to keep it in the hands of ICANN.
