| Reform domain name practices.
Far too many overseas presences, and I don't just mean individuals but cartels too, easily get a US-based domain name and hire US-based hosting services so that they appear to be US-based. Maybe it's time to reform issuance of domain names to strictly reflect in which country the registrant legally resides. (Yes, I'm proposing no more quick, easy online registration--require registrars to collect information confirming legal residence or incorporation and keep it on file with respective national authorities.) You can get a hosting service anywhere, but your country of origin will follow you through the domain name.
As criminal enterprises continue to use the Internet to increase the level of trans border fraud and other criminal activities (like conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism and other violence), expect to start seeing international calls for more strictly regulating the Internet. It's bound to happen. |

| I agree.
And each country should maintain a black list of people who have been kicked off a web server or had ISP service canceled due to illegal activity.
Sort of like what we do for credit checks. You can't get a loan from any financial institution in the country if you have been bouncing checks all over town.
Why should you be able to sign-up for internet access and get web sites and web servers if you have been convicted of spamming, malware, pirating movies, etc.
And ALL sex related sites should be forced to have a common extension such as xxx or meta tag data so that it is easy to filter content for children. Violators get 1 warning and after that, are kicked off the internet.
And I especially like the domain registration criteria of the poster above. That way, if I don't want sites from a certain country due to high spamming or whatever, I can choose not to visit there. Today, there is no way to know who is really behind a particular web site.
I'll get off my soap box now.

| You had me up until sexual content on it's own domain. Parents should be, well..god...parents! Let them police their kids, no need to filter sexual content into it's own little box.
