DNW Podcast #326: Takedowns on the Web with Elliot Noss

Which entities ought to take down websites, and when?

There has been a lot of talk regarding censorship and taking down websites over the past couple of months. On today’s show, I talk with Tucows CEO Elliot Noss regarding the issue. Tucows is one of the world’s largest domain name registrars. We discuss the role that registrars and registries could play in taking down domains used for nefarious purposes, and how Noss’ take on the issue has changed over time. He also explains what Tucows is doing regarding it.

Also: Fresh DNS Abuse Institute, a peachy domain sale, bitcoin domain, and more.
