  Note this blog post also has links to both parts of the video. (Our corporate firewall annoyingly blocks a bunch of new gTLDs, including xyz).

    As a side question, what's the rationale for this? Is there a list of nsfw gTLDs?

      .xyz (alongside some others like .top, .biz?) in particular have a reputation for phishing/malware/etc., I think because they’re among the cheapest to register.

        The funny thing is, the number 1 & 2 spam/phishing/malware domains that hit my company's mail server is gmail.com and outlook.com, followed by random .com domains. My domain block list is approaching 1,000 domains and I don't think I have a single .xyz or .biz in there. There's a few .top. But the overwhelming majority is .com.

          I feel like .zip and .mov gTLDs are more understandable to have blocked

        .top is definitely a shady spot. They’re inexpensive and not very responsive to abuse reports - https://www.icann.org/uploads/compliance_notice/attachment/1225/hedlund-to-wenxia-16jul24.pdf https://www.icann.org/uploads/compliance_notice/attachment/1... .xyz though I mostly associate with abc.xyz, the investor relations page for Alphabet.
