Does this belong to CNN? It's great to read news without clutter, just clear contents. I hope there are many sites like this, it saves you from load the whole page then click the reader mode or similar.
- pvg 9y agoSeems to be using the same CDN with the same hostnames as regular CNN, has their logos, their content, looks theirs.
- 0x0 9y agoThen why is it not on a subdomain of cnn.com? Anyone could copy their logo and their content.
- pvg 9y agoBecause it's a separate site? I have no idea. It takes 30 seconds to convince yourself it's theirs, though, so I'm not sure what you're asking me.
- 0x0 9y agoHow did you manage to convince yourself it's theirs? Why couldn't they just put it on lite.cnn.com? If you try to look up the whois for cnn.io, you only get: Registrar: CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. Registrar IANA ID: 299 Registrar Abuse Contact Email: Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: Name Server: NS-24.AWSDNS-03.COM Name Server: NS-630.AWSDNS-14.NET Name Server: NS-1845.AWSDNS-38.CO.UK Name Server: NS-1268.AWSDNS-30.ORG There is nothing here that indicates this is legit CNN?
- jimktrains2 9y agoI'm not sure why you just put the registry line? Also this is the same registrar cnn.com uses. Also, this registrar doesn't seem to provide _any_ whois contact information, is that allowed by ICAN?
- ryanlol 9y ago>There is nothing here that indicates this is legit CNN? Registering through CSC is difficult if you aren't a BigCo.
- pvg 9y agoI said they use the same CDN hosts with the same forward and reverse names. Which I find quite convincing, on top of everything else. dig lite.cnn.io lite.cnn.io. 18 IN CNAME turner-tls.map.fastly.net. turner-tls.map.fastly.net. 20 IN A 151.101.1.67 dig www.cnn.com www.cnn.com. 39 IN CNAME turner-tls.map.fastly.net. turner-tls.map.fastly.net. 18 IN A 151.101.1.67
