Cybercriminals are becoming a major force in the domain-name market, driving an estimated one-fifth of new gTLD registrations in 2025 and exposing how commercial incentives, weak enforcement, and scale continue to fuel online abuse.
As AI giants build vertically integrated, compute-centric networks, they are bypassing DNS, reshaping routing, and concentrating infrastructure power, placing decades-old internet governance institutions under mounting pressure and raising the prospect of a fragmented, AI-driven Splinternet.
As ICANN confronts a harsher geopolitical era, its long-delayed review of the UDRP has become a defining test of whether the multistakeholder model can still deliver legitimate, effective Internet governance and sustain confidence in its future.
Canada's online pharmacy industry is urging a ban on unregulated peptide sales, warning that products marketed for weight loss, bodybuilding and other uses pose serious health risks, evade regulatory oversight, and are increasingly sold online without prescriptions.
As the UN turns to AI governance, old lessons from internet governance loom large: multistakeholder rules matter, but sharper risks, geopolitical rivalry and machine autonomy make consensus harder and more urgent than before for all.
Africa's data sovereignty debate focuses too heavily on where information is stored. Real sovereignty depends on control of cloud platforms, encryption, identity systems, and critical digital infrastructure that determine resilience, autonomy, and strategic power.
New data on DNS abuse reveals most malicious domains remain active beyond 24 hours, while a handful of registrars host the bulk of infrastructure, leaving India's population of first-generation internet users uniquely exposed to fraud.
As AI agents automate phishing, impersonation and domain abuse at machine scale, the Brand Registry Group argues that dotBrand domains are evolving from marketing assets into trust infrastructure underpinning cybersecurity, identity and interactions across the internet.
As power grids depend on microsecond precision, states must treat time synchronization as sovereign infrastructure, hardening satellite, fiber and orbital defenses against hybrid attacks that could trigger catastrophic blackouts through resilient sovereign time defense frameworks.
ICANN's court intervention in AFRINIC's winding-up case widens a local corporate dispute into a global Internet governance test, exposing weaknesses in RIR protections and strengthening calls for ICP-2 reforms to safeguard registry continuity.
