And Google has the right to publish a list, there should be more lists not less. But Google was at fault for not correcting their blacklist. Until the article appeared on Hacker News, this was not 0% on Google. A small, correctable mistake, but they deserved a tiny bit of blame.

- jeroenhd 8mo agoNot just .online, also any other domain Radix hosts. At least not for anything important. What stands out to me: > Earlier this year, Namecheap was running a promo that let you choose one free .online or .site per account. I wouldn't be surprised if most of Namecheap's customers who used the "register a domain for free" discount were indeed malicious. Without seeing the results of whatever analysis Google did to flag this website, it's hard to say whether Google is at fault here.
