They violated terms of use. What's the problem?

  No problem. I was just answering parent's question about precedent.

Both of those are articles are about registrars refusing to do business with one specific hate group. They're not about registries.

  Aren't Google and Godaddy both TLD owners?
  - CydeWeys 8y ago
    GoDaddy is a registrar. Google has both a registrar and a registry, but the linked actions were taken on the registrar side (i.e. not relevant to what the registry can do with its TLDs). The list of TLDs run by the registry can be found here: https://www.registry.google https://www.registry.google

    Yes, technically. But GoDaddy's GTLD (.godaddy) isn't available for public use, so your point is moot.
    - dingo_bat 8y ago
      My point is that google will ban your website off the internet in whatever way possible for them, if they don't agree with what you're saying. They have demonstrated this as I linked. Just because their role is now TLD owner, doesn't mean they will not do what they think is necessary.

  Yes, but that still represents a very serious problem. The EFF has written extensively on it since this occurred in August. Here's a starting point: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/10/eff-icanns-registrars-dont-pick-censors-pen https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/10/eff-icanns-registrars-.... ICANN has worked very well so far, but if they don't put up a strong response to registrar-based censorship on already-registered domains and make this contractually impossible, the internet is going to be in big trouble. We can't let "you can't have a domain because we don't want you to be able to talk, as a matter of corporate policy" become a thing.

    Is the problem worse with .app than with .com? If so, why?
