A study by McAfee and discussed in Forbes.com article Surf at Your Own Risk identifies the world's riskiest domains.
World's Riskiest Web Domains:
- Tokelau (.tk)
- Information (.info)
- Samoa (.ws)
- Romania (.ro)
- Commercial (.com)
- Business (.biz)
- Russia (.ru)
- Network (.net)
- Families and Individuals (.name)
- Slovakia (.sk)
The Toronto-based company International Foundation for Online Responsibility is leading the charge for this new top-level domain. (Toronto as adult industry centre? Well LavaLife and Ashley Madison did start here.)
I noticed there is a lot of controversy surrounding .xxx. It seems like a great idea to me. I think all pornographers should be forced to use it. This would make me happy as a parent (as filters could easily block all sites with that domain) but also as a hapless employee who has accidentally opened "inappropriate" websites at work (seriously, by accident! - including an unfortunate search for info on Margaret Trudeau that turned up something, or rather someone, else!).
What's the problem with .info?
I was surprised that .info is so dubious. I've been trying to get our site to use that domain in addition to .com and .ca for a couple years. Guess there's no hurry...
