   .org could still be for non-profits and national TLD's could still be managed by governments. .com, .net, meanings btw, are completely irrelevant nowadays. My idea is not to cancel the meaning of .org, but rather create other possibili

   I understand your arguement, but it seems to me a separate problem independent of what I proposed. As an evidence, the problem your describe already exists under the current amount a 1000+ TLDs. It won't be a new problem arising from m

   What stops us, at 2020, to just allow possible string to be a TLD? What's the point of limiting it to this list?

   We (Almonit) focus on Dwebsite: websites that connect decentralized storage with decentralized name service. Works great at the moment without any server or 3rd party. http://blog.almonit.eth.link/2020-05-21/Introductio

   Yes, or an Internet store that would let me download the game instead of installing a piece of software on my computer. I'm super spoiled:-)

   You're right. My rant was about the fact that I need to use a 3rd party store in order to have a game.

    There are a few problems in copyright laws: - bad incentives (cf, "mickey mouse law"), - one rule for all areas (music, movies, books, graphics) instead of different rules for different areas, - not being fit to digital era. This

    I'm surprised they take it down. Why would they do that? Is the fediverse a threat to Google? It's a super niche thing for the a small minority of people who are not Google target users anyway.

    9/11 was the biggest, you're right. But I dunno how is it possible to compare this with the long list of terror attacks Israel had between 1989-2008 or the emotional effect on the EU policies of the club terror attacks in Paris. T

    Wasn't the EU directive was put in place after terror attacks in Europe in the previous decade? What does 9/11 got to do with it?

    "post-911 world"? I think you mean a "post-73 world" (if we take an Israeli point of view) or a "post-2015 world" (if we take the French one). Your point of view seems to be very American centered.

    I see the comparison, but in this case what Apple offer is on of their main selling arguments, not something users are tricked into.

    It's a limited unsatisfying list for me. Allowing only extensions monitored by Mozilla is against the great free internet spirit that Mozilla was functioning under till now. If I want only monitored stuff I may as well switch to Google
