One US company – Digital Identity, Inc. – controls 271 TLDs (~42% of all TLDs).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity…

This is fine.

It’s not.

And that’s why the Small Web will be using Web Numbers.

And you should seriously be thinking about this and at least have a contingency plan given what happened this week with the fascist US government designating Autistici/Inventati – an anti-fascist Italian .org providing internet support to activists – as terrorists, sanctioning them, and knocking them off the Internet.

telesurenglish.net/u-s-designa…

If you’re serious about sovereignty, @EUCommission, you should be at DEFCON 1. And if your sovereignty plans don’t include decentralisation across the board, we are well and truly fucked.

This doesn’t just concern domains. If you’re an anti-fascist or anti-genocide org or group, the fascist US government can designate you a terrorist group and sanction you thereby cutting you off from banking, hosting, and almost all other infrastructure providers with zero due process in the EU.

PS. In case you’re wondering, this is the full list of TLDs controlled by Digital Identity, Inc.:

Trump's ex-Ukraine envoy Kellogg warns Putin won't stop at Donbas

#Russia would not end its war against #Ukraine even if it captured all of #Donbas, former #US Special Envoy for Ukraine #Kellogg said

Kellogg made the comments during his sixth visit to Ukraine and his first since leaving office

For Kellogg, the central issue is not how much territory Russia captures, but whether #Putin would actually be satisfied with it

"He doesn't end there. That's who Putin is," Kellogg said, comparing Moscow's #territorial demands to #Nazi Germany's demands over Czechoslovakia before World War II.

And what has Canada gotten from bowing down to US tech oligarchs and passing the horribly unfair and rightfully despised Copyright Modernization Act?

Nothing.

Worse than nothing.

Canadians are having to deal with more and more enshittification of the US-based tech they are forced to use because of these laws that protect US tech oligarchs' power, and prevent anyone from making better, non-US-made, tech.

That's right: in 2012, Canada passed a law that lets *American* companies use *Canada's* courts to destroy *Canadian* companies that help *Canadian* technology users get more out of *their own property*. This law - the Copyright Modernization Act - was wildly unpopular from the start. A federal consultation drew over 6,000 opposing comments, and only *53* comments in support of the bill.

​Russia’s ​war ​against ​Ukraine

​A ​Ukrainian ​rescue ​worker ​responds ​at ​the ​site ​of ​a ‌Russian ‌strike ‌in ​Zaporizhzhia ​on ​Aug. ​11, ​2026. (Darya ​Nazarova / ​AFP ​via ​Getty ​Images)

​Fire ​reported ​at ​Russian ​oil ​refinery ​located ​over ​6,000 ​kilometers ​from ​Ukraine ​as ​Wildb­erries ​targe­ted ​again. ​A ​fire ​broke ​out ​at ​an ​oil ​refinery ​over ​6,000 ​kilometers (4,000 ​miles) ​from ​Ukraine ​in ​Russia’s ​Far ​East, ​as ​a ​Voronezh ​Oblast ‌logistics ‌hub ‌belonging ‌to ‌major ‌Russian ‌online ‌retailer ‌Wildberries ‌was ‌targeted ‌overnight ‌on ‌Aug. ‌11, ‌monitoring ‌channels ‌reported.

‌North ‌Korea ‌sending ‌more ‌ballistic ‌missiles, ‌troops ‌to ‌Russia ‌as ‌Ukraine’s ‌drones ‌fly ‌farther, ‌Zelensky ‌says. “This ‌is ‌the ​first ​time ​in ​Russian ​history ​that…they ‌cannot ‌wage ‌war ‌without ‌supplies ‌from ‌North ‌Korea,” ‌President ​Volodymyr ​Zelensky ​said.

‌Ukraine ‌strikes ‌Russian ‌petrochemical ‌plant ‌more ​than ​2,000 ​kilometers ‌from ‌border, ‌General ​Staff ​says. ​The ‌depth ‌of ‌the ​strike ​marks “a ​very ​significant ​achievement” ​for ‌Ukraine, ‌President ‌Volodymyr ‌Zelensky ‌said ‌in ‌his ‌evening ‌address ‌on ‌Aug. ‌10.

​Russia ​can ​fire ‌77 ‌missiles ‌at ‌Ukraine ‌in ‌single ​salvo — ​and ​plans ​to ​scale ​up, ‌drone ‌command­er ‌says. ‌Russ­ia ‌aims ‌to ​more ​than ​double ​the ​number ​of ​miss­iles ​it ​can ​launch ​in ​a ‌simu­ltaneous ‌b­arrage, ‌Unmann­ed ‌Sy­stems ‌Forces ‌Commander ​Rob­ert ​Brovdi ​told ​the ​Associat­ed ​Press.

​Ukrainian ​MiG-29 ​fighter ​jet ​crashes ​dur­ing ‌com­bat ‌mission ‌in ​Odesa, ​pilot ​safe. ‌The ‌pilot ‌managed ​to ​safely ​eject ‌from ‌the ‌plane ​before ​the ​crash ‌and ‌was ‌transpo­rted ​to ​a ​m­edical ‌faci­lity, ‌the ‌Air ‌Force ‌said. ‌The ​cause ​of ​the ​inci­dent ​is ​being ‌investigated.

‌Ukr­aine’s ‌milita­ry ​intell­igence ​reveals ​Russi­an ​missile ​produc­tion ​fig­ures ‘exceed­ing ‌mon­thly ‌tar­gets.’ ‌Russia ‌had ‌already ‌fulfilled ​its ​annual ​production ‌t­argets ‌for ‌the ‌Zir­con ‌and ‌Oniks ​mis­siles, ​with ​33 ​and ​60 ​units ‌manufactu­red ‌in ‌the ​first ​seven ​mo­nths, ​respe­ctively, ​Vadym ​Skibitsk­yi ​said.

​Russia’s ​ver­sion ‌of ‌Starlink ‌deploying ‌quicker ‌than ‌planned, ​U­kraine’s ​military ​intelligence ​says. “Moscow ​is ​im­plementing ‌Rassvet, ‌effecti­vely ‌a ​R­ussian ​analogue ​of ‌the ‌Starli­nk ‌system. ​And ​they ​have ​begun ​launching ​it ​significantly ​faster ​than ​was ​envisaged ​in ‌their ‌plans,” ‌Skibitsk­yi ‌said ‌in ‌an ‌inter­view ‌with ‌RBC-Ukrai­ne.

​Russia ​rules ​out ​freezing ​war ​in ‌Ukraine ‌ahead ‌of ​US ​envoy ​visits ​to ​Kyiv, ​Moscow. “No ‘free­ze’ ​is ​possible ​without ‌addr­essing ‌the ‌root ​ca­uses ​of ​this ​crisis,” ​Russian ​Deputy ‌Foreign ‌Minister ‌Mi­khail ​Galuzin ​said.

How Russia’s shadow fleet forced Europe back to sea

Europe’s campaign to choke off Russia’s ability to finance its war through oil revenues began with sancti­ons, legisl­ation, and price caps. But as hundreds of ships helped Moscow evade those restrictions, Western governments increasingly backed those measures with aggres­sive maritime enforceme­nt.

Human cost of war

5 killed, 21 injur­ed as Russian attacks hit Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv. Five pe­ople were killed and 20 injured in Zapori­zhzhia, while one pe­rson was repo­rted injured in Kyiv as Russia launched ballistic missil­es, guided aerial bombs, and drones across Ukraine.

Russian attacks kill at least 4, injure 50 across Ukraine over past day as KAB stri­kes hit Sumy. Russia launched 126 Shah­ed-type and other atta­ck drones, as well as one Kh-59/69 guided aerial missile and three Banderol loit­ering munitions, the Air Force said.

Gene­ral Staff: Russia has lost 1,457,740 troops in Ukrai­ne since Feb. 24, 2022. The figure inc­ludes 1,470 casualties Russian forces suffered over the past day, according to the General Staff.

No escape from the Rus­sian terror playbook

In the early 1950s, a group of prominent, mostly Jewish doctors from Moscow was ac­cused of p­lotting to assass­inate So­viet lea­ders on ord­ers from the West. The accused were fired from their jobs, arrested, and tortured. Today, the Kremlin is following the same playbook.
