Original thread reply

So you must also be against ICANN and their limited TLD designations? And against Twitter/Facebook for limiting users (shadow banning)?

ICANN is insufficiently regulated and holds an artificial monopoly. There’s no technical limitation to prevent everyone on earth having their own TLD. So yes, I am against rent-seeking when it comes to TLDs.

Facebook and Twitter identities are not artificially limited de facto - the services are awash in bots.

And in any case, I stated the following:

[…] I don’t have a problem with this concept intellectually. People have different ideals and projects for the future of digital governance.

I just wish that people pushing Urbit would be honest about the project’s ultimate goals.
