Do you have ideas for TLDs? Here's some of mine, not sure if any of these exist already:

  • .plus
  • .now
  • .ent (short for enterprise)
  • .one
  • .er (for domain hacks, don't get any ideas)
  • .db
  • .source

The idea would be to provide a "protect the kids" alternative that doesn't require global surveillance and privacy violations, so the next time they try to justify another rights violation to "protect the kids" they can be pointed to the sane alternative, and (hopefully) they'll run out of excuses.

I mean, one would wish it'll play out like that, though I have some doubts. Somehow excuses seem to be always found.

They'll just start using the other classic excuse of "preventing terrorism" instead in the case that "protect the children" no longer works.

If you're against mass surveillance, you must be pro-terrorism, right?
