> If they use the .es TLD, then shouldn't anyone with access to a name server that accurately mirrors the zones for that domain have access? I don't see how it's in the US's power to prevent that. I think ICANN still has the power to censor .es domains. Can anyone please either confirm or correct me? > Perhaps there'd be a transition period where international name servers stop trusting US mirrors of international TLDs and US root name servers, but if you stop using those it should still work. Right? BlockAid DNS and Telecomix DNS don't remove domains taken down by ICE. But how long until port 53 to BlockAid and Telecomix is blocked in the US? Anyway, most people won't change their nameservers and Reddit would loose most of its revenue if the domain reddit.com was taken down, and to prevent it they would need to monitor/censor the user-generated content, and they can't afford it. Bottom line: SOPA would make Reddit too expensive to run to be profitable.

I think ICANN still has the power to censor .es domains. Technically this is true, but it would cause a revolt that would just end up destroying ICANN.

  """Technically this is true, but it would cause a revolt that would just end up destroying ICANN.""" Yes, because American's are so rebellious that any attempt to suppress their liberties coughpatriotactcough results in a revolt... Actually, 99% of American rebelliousness is in merely quoting the constitution and the 4 amendments in a world and a political and law system that has render most of those obsolete in practice... For example, the "right to bear arms" meant something WHEN people could use those to overturn their government --now, it's just an excuse for people to get guns to "protect their property" against robberies and such.

    If ICANN starts breaking non-US domains, I have a feeling it's not Americans who would revolt.
