Can we keep politics and personal opinions separate and independent of the technical aspects of the issue at hand (if there are any)? Per the NANOG list info page:
"Appropriate topics include: routing; broad-based engineering problems/issues/solutions; outages; performance measurement; evolving wide-area technologies; exchange points; traffic engineering; operational experience; ISP security; and trouble ticket systems." Is there an actual legit technical issue here that needs discussion or solving? ---- Andy Ringsmuth [email protected] Love others, encourage others, help others. > On Jul 19, 2026, at 6:05 AM, Kevin Tillery via NANOG <[email protected]> > wrote: > > A Texas court has suspended the .com domain of a Dutch porn site which > doesn't have any business presence in Texas, because it doesn't comply with > Texas rules about porn (which are extremely onerous): > > https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-secures-landmark-legal-victory-lock-pornographic-website-domain-and > > Clearly the US is not fit to manage top-level domains (other than .us of > course) even though it ended up with them by historical accident.
