Ad hoc malware police besiege net neutrality
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past couple of weeks, white hat netizens have scored two important
| victories in their tireless quest to clean up some of the internet's darkest
| recesses. While the events are encouraging, forgive us if we don't jump for
| joy.
|
| The first win came when Directi - a registrar criticized for making anonymous
| domain-name registration available to an inordinate number of scammers -
| agreed to beef up its policing of malicious sites. The Mumbai provider of a
| service known as PrivacyProtect now promises to suspend abusive services
| within 24 hours of receiving a legitimate complaint. It's also agreed to
| completely suspend the service to Estdomains and other customers accused of
| using it to protect owners of illegal websites.
