Don't they own a few? .XYZ is another which Google uses for https://abc.xyz https://abc.xyz
- ipsum2 9y agoGoogle doesn't own xyz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xyz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xyz
- tgb 9y agoHow bizarre that the terms of use for .xyz specifically bans illegal or fraudulent defamation of Justin Bieber and Oprah Winfrey. Presumably this only covers things that were already covered by the law for everyone else, but it is still kind of baffling. I assume the two of them were involved financially with the .xyz TLD?
- CydeWeys 9y agoI think it's reactive, i.e. in response to some prior incident, not implying an ownership stake. Do you really think Justin Bieber is involved financially with the domain name registry business? I doubt it.
- farnsworth 9y agoI don't see why not, many celebrities/rich people have broad investments, especially in tech.
- tgb 9y agoThat does sound more likely.

- strictnein 9y agoAlmost certainly in response to affiliate marketers faking their endorsements of products.
