Seven keys, held by individuals from all over the world, that together control security at the core of the web. They have been meeting four times a year, twice on the east coast of the US and twice here on the west, in what's called a "key holders ceremony" since 2010. The "key holders" (a select group of security experts from around the world) all have long backgrounds in internet security and work for various international institutions.  Some refer to the key holders as the most powerful people in the world.  And by controlling the internet, they very well could be.   Pardon My American podcast (PMA) is an opinion-based podcast that explores local and global politics, entertainment, paranormal, and culture all while having a good laugh.
