New(?) Anti-Fraud DNS service

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the does-it-actually-work dept.

knownsense writes "A new DNS system to foil spammers, abusers, and other ills of the Internet is around the corner, reports Wired. It claims to be more user-friendly than your ISP's DNS. Among its claimed advantages . . . Faster myspace(!?), coordination with spamhaus, and typo-squatter squashing. The actual service is called OpenDNS."

    Google is already evil:
    • They are domain squatters and facilitators of it
    • They allow large amount of AdSense ads leading to sites to rip you off (selling single page PDF files for $30+)
    • It's hard to report copyrighted material on Google Video
    Greed has taken over, slowly but surely.

    Although I don't know if this was the intention, something about this article gets my Net Neutrality Sense tingling. Couldn't any particular organization take advantage of this with enough money, or couldn't domains just start paying to obtain priority?
