and exactly what country is safe from the whims of politics? I was just reading about censorship in the Netherlands and other Euro states because of fear of offending religious people, especially muslims. If the far left Europeans can&#x27;t protect speech, then who can? DNNSEC just enables centralized government control on a level that&#x27;s not needed. DNS is fine as-is. Domain authentication should be done via the transport layer like SSL.  That&#x27;s the way things are going now anyway.
