"Now, for sure, you can discard all that talk about a "UN takeover of the Internet." The only things the UN knows how to take over are its own obscure departments."

Unfortunately the UN, better said, some member states, have been

ITU or creating a similar organization under the UN umbrella to assume
"control" of Internet governance, regulations, and administration of
common resources.
