The source of the article is 
http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-un-wants-complete-control-over-the-internet-and-that-would-mean-unprecedented-censorship-taxes-and-surveillance

I wouldn't spend time thinking about the american dream.

The "close down" of several web sites have nothing to do with 
IPv6.  The security implications of IPv6 is that it is a good way for 
people to make money.  The simple answer is that the security 
implications is nearly the same as for IPv4.  That does not mean that 
if someone understands IPv4 security, the person automatically 
understand IPv6 security.

Yes.
