A dangerous Internet proposal

samedi 22 avril 2023 à 14:33

Verisign has asked ICANN to give every government total power to seize or shut .net domains. If some government, such as Tuvalu or China or Beijing, seized your domain, you'd have to sue in the courts of Tuvalu or China, not your own country.

This is a very dangerous concentration of power. The fact that Verisign arranged for this shows it is far too powerful. The network's arrangements with it should be canceled and replaced with something quite different.

The fact that ICANN agreed to this suggests that there is corruption in ICANN that needs to be rooted out.
