A look at both sides of the equation.
No one listening to this podcast wants people to use domain names and websites for scams, spam, and spreading malware. But who should be in charge of the police? How much effort do domain registrars and registries have to expend to eradicate it? And what about collateral damage to legitimate websites? Today I discuss these topics with Jothan Frakes. Jothan has been in the DNS space for three decades and has seen this debate unfold over time. He understands both sides of the equation and explains why ICANN and its contracted parties are often the ones targeted to clean up the mess.
