“Whatever the route, the destination is clear: The dustbin of history is calling for .su.”
s who like the lack of actual government supervision. Given its lack of positive value it is long past time for the .su domain to be consigned to the digital graveyard.
Why then does it still exist? The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers — the international organization that governs domain names, including country codes—has a policy of retiring the names of countries quickly once they cease to exist. ICANN has already bumped off Yugoslavia’s .yu and East Germany’s .dd, to name a few. But its efforts to retire .su have been hampered by a mix of Putinist sentiment and commercial interest.
That’s not reason enough to keep the ghost of the Soviet Union alive on the internet. It was quite possibly the most murderous regime in history, and war crimes are being committed in its memory today all across Ukraine. There’s a good chance, of course, that Putin will take its demise personally. And, really, what better reason could there be for hastening its execution?of hemming and hawing. And if ICANN stalls, there are plenty of other ways to reach the same end. The Biden administration could sanction the entire domain, prohibiting transactions with the domain registrar and its users, the way it has with other Russian internet outlets.
