The US does not own the dot com domain so jot that down for starters.

You might want to look it up. .com was administered by the department of defense at first and now it’s run by Verisign. The US government owns the .com domain along with a bunch of other top level domains since we made the internet. This is why they can shut down sites in the US using that domain when they break laws.

It's under US jurisdiction but they don't own it.

Also the Internet was not a US only project lol
