GoDaddy Follows Google's Lead; No More Registrations In China
phantomfive writes "GoDaddy has announced it will no longer register domain names in China, in response to new requirements that each registrant be photographed, and their business ID number be submitted. GoDaddy's representative said, 'The intent of the procedures appeared, to us, to be based on a desire by the Chinese authorities to exercise increased control over the subject matter of domain name registrations by Chinese nationals.'"
This is bullshit! This article is from today, it's not supposed to be posted here until earliest Friday and more likely by Sunday.
Do not comment! It will be posted again tomorrow anyway and your words will be forgotten. Or better yet I'll steal all the witty ones.
...Daddy ?!? Not even the spare ribs ?
Why? Even if you limited it to female athletes she wouldn't be in my top 50 choices.
I still have more fans than freaks. WTF is wrong with you people?
Um..... these new web domain licensing requirements (business ID, photo, et cetera)..... aren't they also being implemented in the US and EU?

I think people are confused on what moderation is for on Slashdot. This isn't digg. Moderation isn't based on whether you agree or disagree with a post. I fail to see how this post is informative in any way, it's just a statement of opinion. That's not to say it should necessarily be modded down, but it definitely shouldn't have been modded Informative. Oh well, hopefully there are still people that meta-moderate.
