| 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? |
| |
| ▲ | inigyou a day ago | parent | next [-] | | If 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 a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I'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. | | |

It doesn't get any special treatment wrt to .dev |

| What does "neutral" mean? Which ones are more neutral ones? Any examples of issues with Google, or with the more neutral ones? |

| ▲ | axus a day ago | parent [-] | | Ultimately controlled by a country "more neutral" than the USA. Looks like .me is not neutral. | | |
| ▲ | quectophoton 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | As far as I understand, everything ends up centralized to USA anyway (ICANN), who then tells everyone what TLDs are allowed or not. | | |
| ▲ | inigyou 17 hours ago | parent [-] | | If ICANN removed a country TLD it would be an international incident that would break the internet in two - USA and everyone else. |

| It's possible, if you have $600,000 to purchase one. |
