Primary concerns of centralised DNS #10

Open pgl opened 3 years ago

"The primary concerns with centralized DNS are data mining, law enforcement and intelligence agencies gaining access to information, conflicts in jurisdictional privacy laws, and creating single points of failure and targets."

From one perspective, the economic / monopoly impact might be another concern here: the inability of smaller companies to get a look-in with future development of DNS, because everything is so centralised. It might be argued that this is actually happening or has already happened, but that's probably outside the scope of the paper.

Also I think it's probably debatable whether this is a "primary" concern or not.

Thanks Peter, I will work on fitting in a critique of monopolistic behaviour here.
