Would it not be possible to have a 1000 different ICANN databases?
Who is in ultimate control of ICANN?
Where/Who is the root power of this high level ecosystem?
If they have the power to ban a domain name for safety reasons (terrorism). They also have the power to ban a domain for political purposes.
ABSOLUTELY.
There are no databases. It is all domain names through an authority Registrar. It is all a scam from the get go driven by Google as the first search engine. If you are not registered on the TLD you cannot be searched and found by spiders and crawlers.
It is only the top 10% of he internet. The deep web and dark web is below that. But the deep web is not indexed or searchable. Everything in the TOR browser is a .onion URL.
So all we have o do to create a new internet is come up with a new URL suffix and share a desktop client/browser just like TOR did...
