and trust review team report (the document list was impressive if not downright staggering) but I did not see anything that reassured me about how ICANN is treating competition issues. I think this is a critical issue for us, so glad people are interested
in discussing it. What we can do about it, of course, is another matter.</font></font></p>

<div>I agree that this is deeply troublesome and offer the example of the dot pharmacy designation as the entities that created it and authorize websites have deep ties to the pharmaceutical industry and a vested interest in keeping drug prices high, so they
will only authorize sites that charge inflated prices for medications. Since access to drugs can be a matter of life and death, this elevates the importance and urgency of the issue. </div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF">I find the new registry agreements deeply troubling. They effectively give registries the authority, even the obligation, to determine if web content is legal, truthful, "fraudulent," etc. and to wield domain suspension as a remedy for
all manner of speech regulation. There's so much popular anger at platforms like Facebook over their content moderation right now that I can't understand why registries want to get into that business. And yet many of them seem eager.<br>

<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi everyone,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thanks for getting this conversation started, Farell! Jumping in to share some additional context useful for our Stakeholder Group:<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The USA may have chosen to avoid regulation up to this point, but many countries have done the opposite. Efforts to regulate content are particularly relevant to the DNS, as there are an abundance of "voluntary"
or legally mandated DNS filters currently deployed by ISPs around the world. [0] It's difficult to gauge the extent of DNS blocking as many of these agreements are not made publicly available for scrutiny by consumers or civil society.
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">At the end of the day, DNS blocking is a half-baked solution. Often times it's merely an inconvenience for people seeking banned content [1]. At best it thwarts access to allegedly unlawful content without addressing
the offense in itself. Moreover, the widespread implementation of new protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) or -TLS (DoT) by US-based companies like Google, Cloudflare, and Mozilla will likely disrupt this status quo, once again raising questions about centralization
and jurisdiction. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">So far, regulatory measures floated to address this evolving technical landscape generally range from bad to worse in terms of freedom of expression and access to information. These include blocking IP addresses
to prevent users from connecting to entire servers, or deploying allowlists instead of blocklists. These issues aren't yet at the forefront of discussions within ICANN, but we should be aware of them to anticipate changes on the horizon.<br>

I found this article about facebook and privacy particularly interesting. It has nothing to do directly with domain names but It can educate more on how and why users should take more care about their data and how it is processed.` Also, it pointes out the
