  <title><![CDATA[Ted Cruz is Trying to Sabotage the Internet’s Governance Transition]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Milton Mueller, professor in the Ivan Allen College School of Public Policy, was quoted in &quot;Ted Cruz is Trying to Sabotage the Internet&#39;s Governance Transition&quot; by&nbsp;<strong>Vice.</strong></p>

<p>Excerpt:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Internet policy experts say the claims advanced by Cruz and his allies are blatantly false, and amount to political grandstanding that demonstrates a fundamental ignorance about how the internet works, especially when it comes to warnings that Russia, China, or Iran could somehow censor Americans&rsquo; speech on the internet.</p>

<p>&quot;There&rsquo;s no legitimate way for him to get to that conclusion,&rdquo; Milton Mueller, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Public Policy and a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.spp.gatech.edu/people/person/e3f10eae-fa4b-5eb2-bf42-0735bd8360a7" target="_blank">leading authority on global internet governance</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2016/sep/14/ted-cruz/ted-cruz-incorrect-about-obama-giving-control-inte/" target="_blank">told PolitiFact</a>, which rated Cruz&rsquo;s claims as<a href="http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2016/sep/14/ted-cruz/ted-cruz-incorrect-about-obama-giving-control-inte/" target="_blank">FALSE</a>. &ldquo;What he&rsquo;s doing is fear-mongering and trying to create a bogeyman, which is the United Nations.&rdquo;</p>
