IMO South American countries should just ban the corporate-owned .amazon from local DNS. The least they can do is boycott the domain.

  I really don’t want governments blocking my internet to fight their petty disputes.

    I wouldn't care if .amazon was unreachable by local DNS, because I bet Amazon will give every significant service an equivalent amazon.com domain. They might add "aws.amazon" but I doubt they're taking away "aws.amazon.com". Balkanization would send an important message to ICANN.

    Then how else should they enforce a law assigning the .amazon domain to its rightful owners? Not that anything would be blocked in the first place unless Jeff Bezos were stupid enough to actually use the domain for anything important.

      > rightful owners So Amazon.com, Inc then? The only party who applied for the .amazon gTLD.

        Nope, ICANN's policies don't determine that.

          What does then?
          • anoncake 7y ago
            That depends on the jurisdiction.
