Private .US Registrations Disallowed by NTIA

jnetsurfer writes "Apparently, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA") has decided that domains under the TLD .US have no right to privacy. New domain names ending in .US will not be able to be registered as "private" and current owners of .US names will be forced to reveal their contact information starting "no later than January 26, 2006". This means that you can't run an annonymous website with a .US TLD. If you don't like this, feel free to sign the petition."

Give me a break, this has nothing to do with privacy but everything to do with accountability. You need to be held accountable for what ends up on your website, or what comes from you mail server. If privacy is what your looking for, get yourself a geocities account, but don't expect to hide behind a public TLD.

I will excuse your cynicism and your anonymity. Hopefully next time you will excuse a link to an entirely relevant commentary on an offensive website, as opposed to linking directly to (or shilling) the offensive damned website.

Alternatively, in that you went to all the trouble of flaming me, perhaps you could expend that effort next time more productively and merely cut and paste (are you ready for it?) Fuc.kthe.us into your address bar, suck it and see.
