RMT, ICANN and XIN NET TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

[Maxipep]

There has been a lot of anger lately regarding RMT, mostly directed at SE. The truth is that whilst Se are doing all they can this anger should be directed at ICANN. Here's why :-
Nearly all RMT sites are flagged by ICANN as scam sites.
XIN NET TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION are the hosts for these websites.
ICANN could stop these sites from operating but choose not to. This link from 2009 will show how absolutely nothing has been done in the last 6 years.

ICANN hands out IP addresses... it does not police the internet... anyone may operate any site they wish. This has nothing to do with the spam we receive in game.

Whenever I get an RMT spam I like to reply to them with.
'HEY CUTIE, WANT TO FIND HOT LOCAL SINGLES IN YOUR AREA'

Regardless, it still does not police the internet.

Thank goodness.

You obviously failed to read the link attached so I have pasted part of it for you here

The overseer of the Internet's addressing system, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), can put pressure on Xin Net and eName, Warner said. ICANN could warn the companies that their domain name registration functions could be taken away, as ICANN accredits them, Warner said.

Nice try. Where would we be with a formal police authority for the Internet anyway? North Korea.

Its gotten a lot worse their now using shout on my server and every day there's a friend request. There has to be some legal thing SE can do their technically stealing from SE because their selling stuff they don't own SE owns every piece of data in game its in the ToS.

Oh good god. So any form of regulation to protect people equates to North Korea? What an asinine point of view.

Right now the Internet is worse than the wild west. We're all out here doing business, playing, whatever, and yet there is nothing and no one to protect the actual users of the internet. It's next to impossible to trace, never mind catch and punish hackers, scammers, abusers, stalkers, cyber vandals and all other forms of cyber criminal. There is no jurisdiction, no one has domain over the net, and so there is nothing, NOTHING, to protect legitimate users or service providers from being the targets of a monstrous variety of online crime.

And yet your response to the suggestion that something be done to police the Internet is that it would somehow equate to us all suddenly being trapped in one of the most repressive and abusive regimes of the modern era? I'm not sure what alternate reality your head exists in, but here in the real world, the general public needs protection from criminals and that is what the police are supposed to be there for. If you think that regulating or policing criminal activity on the internet equates to totalitarian rule, you should go study up on the various regimes of eastern Europe before the fall of the Soviet Union, you might learn something, and stop making stupid comparisons with North Korea.
