Please dont take ICANN censoring "XN--55QX5D.", "XN--FIQS8S." and "XN--IO0A7I." serious. Ment as a joke. Did not make it. Sorry! Joseph S D Yao wrote:

My dictionary says censor is from latin. A magistrate, lets call him a polititian like http://odem.org/akteure/juergen-buessow.de.html http://www.wdr.de/themen/politik/nrw/demo_internetzensur/index.jhtml http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/12/12733/1.html Sorry I have this guy only in german. This guy odered some local ISPs to making sites unavailable mostly by forging DNS entries kept in their local resolvers. I was told by peoply unvolontarily working for him that more than 6000 sites were involved. Quite a lot of them collateral damage. The latin version says this guy is taking things out of books so the ordinary roman was not annoyed by distateful things. I guess you see the irony. Büssow ment to keep journalists from seeing sites in the USA and Canada that would be prosecuted in Germany. His helpers felt invited to do a lot more good and played some tricks on their "friends". In Germany we do not pick a leave from a tree. We cut the tree and dig out the root.

So for me running my own independent resolver was a must. But many of my colleages are not computerscience people. Many of the poor buggers are running some flavour of windows. For them it is life behind the big chinese firewall if they cannot find an open resolver. Please excuse if I overreact a bit on this matter.
