Internet journalism means you can sensationalize hypotheticals like "The IANA may fudge its own rules" and "Money talks" without having to provide a source for those claims.

And why should I be careful choosing a TLD or interpret this as a warning? The Internet isn't breaking, it's changing. All this does is fear monger in favor of one Pope of the Internet.

OK poof there are now 100 name servers delegating .com. Which one does your ISP default you to? [1-100]

The certificate authorities on my ring that I trust. For normal people that's already included in their OS or browser

So, an authority? It sounds like this would complicate DNSSEC by requiring the "root keys" to be stored outside the DNS itself.

We already have to have key rings. Centralized DNS is just a second, superfluous layer of authority (and a massive grift) on top

"Centralized DNS" is an oxymoron, we'll have to agree to disagree

Yeah, I gave up reading at

it’s a shocking reminder that there are forces outside of the internet that still affect our digital lives.
