I don’t mean to censor you here, but I disagree. If everything is censorship, then censorship becomes meaningless. Anyway, i gotta go censor something for breakfast, have a censor censor. Censor!

Censorship is when speech or publication is prevented. Hope this explanation helps.

Yes well my mouth was full of breakfast so the toast was censoring me.

Incidentally, taking down a domain used for short links doesn’t prevent speech or publication, since they have about 20 other domains that the same info is available at. Like how knocking over a newspaper box doesn’t censor the paper. So, by your own definition this isn’t censorship. Which is weird because it probably is censorship. Almost like your definition is bad.

yeah, it is good! I hate usability features too!

You either have E2EE or you don't. If you have usability, you don't have E2EE.

I can't have E2EE and also have cross device data sync?

fair enough -- dunno what domains telegram uses

telegram.dog

I am amazed that this exists and can't figure out if this is just some random person's redirect or an official domain.

Technical failures are different from procedural ones (didn’t verisign blow up dot com or something years ago?). The future is domain resiliency - whether that’s via apps or other methods.

I currently check Wikipedia to find out the current domain for sites that are subject to frequent takedowns.

wikipedia happily censors domains, it's not a free speech community.

None do at present, AFAIK. But ccTLD could do that, if they wanted to; there is no rule against it, unlike the gTLDs.

That's weird there no such zones then. It would be nice to be able to pay for a domain 50 years in advance.

It’s an accounting issue. It is also why all coupons, gift cards, etc. expire. When you buy a domain, or get a coupon, the company basically has to treat that as a debt that the company owes you, and this has to go on the books as a kind of liability. No company want too much of that.
