I'm not sure if this is a real change to the nic.ly policy or not. It's tricky. They say it was adult content. While vb.ly might not have had any, it was co-owned by Violet Blue, who while she is many wonderful things, she is not islamic. Violet Blue's Website: http://www.tinynibbles.com/ http://www.tinynibbles.com/ It's not just Libya, the US govt which has ultimate control over .com, .org, .net, .us, .gov, etc... also has some crazy ideas. Just look at how the senate last week wanted to start revoking domain names willy nilly.

Whether or not adult content was physically hosted by vb.ly or not is really a technicality. If the link results in porn in your browser window...

  I guess they block Google, then?

    They would probably block google.ly, or at least filter it.

      You mean http://www.google.com.ly/ http://www.google.com.ly/ ?

    Probably.

  Well, domain name cannot physically host any meaningful content, for most useful values of 'meaningful content'.

Wanted! = Acted The US senate, house, and president all want lots of things that never come to pass, because we have a government with lots of competing interests that (mostly) all have to agree on something before it bbecomes a law. This is in stark contrast to Lyybia or any other dictatorship where laws can be changed at the whim of whoever is in power. That's not just at the top, either. Dictatorships are usually run like fiefdoms: people are given absolute power over everyone below them, so long as they don't piss off the people above them. So the guy who runs the registrar can do whatever he pleases so long as his boss is ok with it.
