May 13h 2019 ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 USA Public comment on the Proposed Renewal of .biz Registry Agreement Executive Summary Renewal of the .biz registry agreement with Registry Services, LLC should be assessed against the background of the Internet addiction global problem. According to academic research, Internet addiction disorder (IAD) results in personal, family, and occupational problems. Internet addiction can be decomposed into several subtypes of behavior and impulse control problems, namely, Debauchery, cyber-relationship addiction, net compulsions, information overload, compulsive web surfing or database searches and net gaming. Internet gaming has been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a disease in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). There is a large correlation between addiction to online social networks and generalized Internet addiction. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops that Facebook has created are destroying how society works and it is eroding the core foundations of how people behave by and between each other. Smartphones and the social media platforms they support are turning us into bona fide addicts. Platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram leverage the very same neural circuitry used by slot machines and cocaine to keep us using their products as much as possible. Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) ruins lives by causing neurological complications, psychological disturbances, and social problems. Smartphone or Internet addiction can also negatively impact your life by increasing loneliness and depression, fueling anxiety, increasing stress, exacerbating attention deficit disorders, diminishing your ability to concentrate and think deeply or creatively, disturbing your sleep and encouraging self-absorption. The psychopathological overlap between IA, substance addiction and pathological gambling suggests a common neurobiological substrate, involving a dopamine dysfunction of the neural "reward systems". Debauchery destroys the brain. Lust and promiscuity, explains Nachman of Breslev, lead to a breakdown of logic, common sense and even insanity. The proof is that in this decadent age, so many people are in need of psychiatric medication, whereas millions suffer from anxiety and depression. All the people who are out of their minds, because they fell into the difficult disease of looking at women and all kinds of filthy movies on the Internet, on the iPhone, Facebook, etc., to the point of burning lust in real madness. Gambling is a terrible sickness, even more addictive than alcohol, tobacco and drugs. The lust for money is the root cause of gambling affliction, which not only drives a person insane, but makes him or her lose faith in the Creator, and truth and emuna in His Divine providence, Heaven forbid. The gambler is cruel to his family. The owners and operators of gambling parlors are outright murderers.
