Reg.ru has divided the domain of the game "Multipurpose"

A curious precedent occurred with the domain of the political game “Mnogohodovochka” (tekstogram.com), which was launched on January 5 by the staff of the Lentach newspaper.

Yesterday the Reg.ru domain registrar divided the address tekstogram.com . This was done without a court order or a prescription of the Prosecutor General’s Office.

It seems obvious that Reg.ru actions are politically motivated. But the registrar asserts that he acted in strict accordance with the ICANN procedure for domain names in the .com zone: “According to the registration rules, the contact information and information about the domain administrator must be correct and relevant. When a complaint is received on a domain name, a mandatory check of this condition is carried out, as well as a mandatory response of the domain administrator to the submitted complaint. In the event that the specified procedure was not completed within the established time, the domain name registrar is obliged to suspend the delegation. ”

The nuance of this story is that the registrar's competence are only domain names , but not the contents of the site. But what claims may be to the domain name tekstogram.com?

Domain owners publish a screenshot of the Reg.ru correspondence, where the registrar himself admits that the complaint does not relate to the domain, but to the content of the site.





It turns out that Reg.ru has exceeded its authority. After all, it is not up to the registrar to determine which content falls under the definition of “extremism”, and which does not. Although they formally followed the procedure: 1) they sent a letter, 2) did not receive an answer, 3) they separated the domain.

“This is a complete nonsense. Technical registrars, whose task is to make entries in the registries, sit and figure out which sites they like and which they don’t like. This is not their business at all. It is up to the prosecutor’s office, the investigating authorities, to determine what is extremism and what is not. And not the uncle from the street. And they have to register half a million domains. And any of them can at any time be divided according to their whims. They can close any site of their client at will or according to a single complaint of a madman, ”commented Mark Shane, manager of the Lentach community in a comment to TJ.

PS You can visit the site of the game at the address 178.62.122.25 multi-way . Moscow .
