VeriSign Plans To Bring Back SiteFinder
from the friends-see-no-problem-with-it dept
VeriSign has said that the supposedly "independent" panel that they put together themselves sees no problem with SiteFinder, and therefore, there's really no reason not to turn it back on. Obviously, the panel that they put together (they wouldn't be biased in who they picked, would they?) knows a lot more than all of the internet luminaries pointing out the problems with SiteFinder. They say they're going to address a few specific complaints, and will give people a 30 day warning before they hijack all domain name typos again.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
