The title of your second link is "The Fathers of the Internet" and Robert Kahn as co-inventor of TCP/IP protocol is also considered a father of the internet.

BTW if I google father of the internet I get Cerf and Kahn or it says "a father"

I know what the title says, of course ... but the title is descriptive, not a label, and only Cerf is referred to as the father, as quoted. And yes of course Kahn co-invented TCP/IP but no one ever calls him father of the Internet. And I already said what happens if you google "father of the Internet" -- what I said is actually true.

And none of this is really relevant because it's TFA that should determine HN titles. But for better or worse the mod has made his decision, so this is moot -- I won't comment on it further.

And man, for someone who calls something "nitpicking" to dig so deep into it ...

So much for "but no one ever calls him father of the Internet."

It’s widely recognized that the internet has multiple fathers.
