Google? Who has a grotesque history of shutting stuff down on people's faces because a collection of execs decided so?
- talideon 4y agoThey have to follow ICANN rules for registry operators, just like everyone else. Google can't simply shut down their registry operations: management would be moved to another registry operator.
- hedora 4y agoIsn’t this analogous to the problem where control of governments change, and the new registry operator can have arbitrarily bad rules / prices?
- thiht 4y agoI gave a relevant answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32799919 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32799919 Google Registry is not just any user facing product they can shutdown whenever they want. I have no issue renting a .app or a .dev, but I'd never use Google Domains for that.
