I'm asking you out of pure curiosity, it's not an attack: what difference does it make to have a domain controlled by Google versus a more general one?

- b112 3mo agoWho is 'he'? Did you use an LLM for translation, and it used he instead of I?
- andros 3mo agoHuman error, thanks for the heads-up!
- inigyou 3mo agoIf Google doesn't like you, it can remove your domain. Also, many people (apparently not you) are uncomfortable giving money to Google. Google also ends up with some limited information about who is accessing your website.
- andros 3mo agoI'm not very scared; there are no precedents for similar cases except for security problems or the dissolution of a country. Update: I see you've edited the comment. Regarding paying Google, I have no problem paying for their services. I don't know what the issue is. By the way, the domain is managed by Squarespace.
- arccy 3mo agoGoogle Registry / Charleston Road Registry Inc. operates the .dev TLD What they sold to squarespace was Google Domains, the user facing registrar from which you can buy domains from most TLDs. It doesn't get any special treatment wrt to .dev
- marysol5 3mo agoRegistrars, even when they "own" the TLD can't unilaterally remove you.
