So confused. DNS registrars can be mandated to reject domain ownership? What about DNS registrars outside of the US?

Also..... at some point we could just publish a list of IP's if we care enough, right? Although that's less than ideal.



How would a Wikipedia DNS work? It seems like this would be a useful service as people move toward some weird morality-based instead of law-based way of living life.

This is a topic that I want to see if transhumanists have researched as this becomes really important post-singularity.


Some transhumanists have done thought experiments and research on it, and I would say that the most digestible version of the "morality-as-law" system is in the Eclipse Phase RPG.


It would lead to filter bubbles.


Lots of non-US TLDs run over US-based registrars.

There are some, like Iceland, which run their own registrar and aren't connected to the US. Which means they don't care what the US says until an Icelandic court agrees.
