Swedish Regulators Ban Word "Bank" In Domain Names For Non-Banks

It seems that Swedish regulators have decided to extend the requirement of not calling yourself a bank to the registration of domain names. Now anyone that tries to register a .SE domain name with the word "bank" in it will need to prove they are a legitimate bank. Hopefully there are no blood banks or anyone with the last name of "Banks" that might want a .SE domain. Here is a Google translation of the demand issued by the authorities to the .SE registry.

  1. Censorship ? by smoker2 · · Score: -1, Troll

    As usual the censorship tag appears. Do you even know what censorship means you ignorant fucks ? Maybe when you're old enough to have a history, you'll change your minds. I suppose it would be OK for anybody to advertise and trade as a govt. dept. by using the TLD .gov in your book. Assholes.

    No, I don't care that this is not TLD related. You ignorant fucks have propagated to the extent where a TLD is irrelevant. The only question you have to ask is " is this the same address as the last successful connection that didn't result in a felony". Jesus fucking christ - are you completely stupid ?

    Go on, mod me flamebait - just goes to prove how many ignorant assholes there really are out there. When I can pass a required computer exam where a significant part of the score is gained by knowing your fucking name - and the rest is gained by following written instructions -- I don't give a fuck any more.

    It's quite simple. Are you a legitimate bank ? If not, then you can't pretend to be one on the internet. Is that so fucking difficult to understand ?

    It seems AOHell has completed its takeover. Fuck off and die.
