There are lots of other domain registers, some in specific that specialize in free speech rights.

Realistically someone could publish to IPFS and do CNAME redirects without a server.

Reminds me of riseup, but that has a littered history as well.
Also there is Namecoin and .bit addresses. Not saying they work flawlessly, but the concept does solve this problem.
- anfilt 9y agoStill we are talking about the underlining infrastructure here. While not versed in all the details of ICANN's policies I am actual surprised there no policy stopping a registrar from doing this. I can understand hosting, but I think DNS records should held to higher standards. People don't like governments messing with the DNS system why should we give a private company a pass?
