North Korean Domain Names Return To the Internet
angry tapir writes "North Korean domain names have returned to the Internet over the last few days as the country continues to build its presence online. Websites, previously available only via IP addresses, are now accessible through dot-kp addresses and it appears more might be on the way."
This isn't a troll, but a serious question.
They are an unfriendly, communist, totalitarian regime. We exactly do we care if they are on the Internet?
Again, this is not a troll. I'm really interested in the ramifications of this action, which at the moment escape me.
Yeah, because US is the one that should dictate that, right?
They are an unfriendly, communist, totalitarian regime.
Do you mean like China ?
Because we live in the same world?
OK, this is what's wrong with Slashdot. The comment by the parent has nothing to do with the GP it responds to. There isn't even a hint that anyone should dictate anything in the GP's post. Still the parent's response to it was modded insightful, probably simply because the comment is vaguely anti-US. The US shouldn't have any say in that, of course, but this is still not a command that adds anything to the discussion at hand, least of all any insight.
People are fleeing from NK to China, just to give you an idea that there are various degrees of "bad".
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
