> Then also, I really think all .gov, .mil and .edu and the other US-only TLDs should be phased out (they could just become redirects to .gov.us, .mil.us etc.). Having those TLDs as US-only just smacks of American exceptionalism
If other countries don't like it... why connect and use an American network? Why not build their own (and foot the research bill!).
- GreenWatermelon 5y agoThe internet isn't a box stored somewhere in America, it's the collection of computers connected together with wires. They can change protocols, but that would just lead to a fractured ecosystem fir the benefit of no one, American or otherwise.
