Thanks for a detailed response but I still think it’s a bad idea on principle as you’re bestowing authority to some organization that needs to be funded, organized, maintained and skilled to keep track of these rules.
Soon, it will become a giant mess and regulation will impede regular companies/people that would question “Who put these rules together? Our domain doesn’t happen to be fishy”.
Furthermore, how important of a name does it have to be for adding it to these automated rules? How do you quantify that?
Even in an ideal perfect world, I wouldn’t want to sacrifice internet freedom for phishing attempts. DNS is a huge part of the internet whereas phishing costs are neglible.
Every time someone brings an idea about regulating the internet, I just get a repulsive feeling. Stop trying to fuck with the internet. The EFF is not enough.
Isn’t Google Chrome and other browsers already doing this? Phishy websites get tagged and there is a big red screen that shows up - most importantly - allowing users to bypass it if needed. There are times when legit but old websites get banned by these Phishing blockers. I think the solution needs to be more “local” than something on a grand global scale.
