Hmm, if it is spam malware, in .ru for example (and many other<br>
countries), it may actually be be legal software. so, no.. too general<br>
<br>
maybe you mean slavery, cannibalism & child abuse? <br>
(then, the Internet may be used to assist in the crimes similar to a<br>
car used to assist in a robbery...)<br>
<br>
Which specific Internet abuse qualifies for "internationally agreed<br>
prohibited items" ?<br>
<br>
and the real question still remains: "how tech should respond to abhorrent content, and<br>
whether content should be policed by registrars, browsers, or social networks" <br>
<br>
I say no. Whichever region law enforcement should enforce laws. Not<br>
huge multinational companies enforcing their monoculture on the world.<br>
