GoDaddy won't sell .cn domain names anymore!

Godaddy Inc., world's largest domain name registrar has said that they will stop selling the .CN domain names.

Reason:

“We were having to contact Chinese users to ask for their personal information and begrudgingly give it to Chinese authorities,” Jones told Congress. “We decided we didn’t want to become an agent of the Chinese government.”

Go Daddy has been selling .cn domain names since 2005, but in December, the Chinese authority that controls its country-code top-level domain announced it would begin requiring that new domain holders provide a photo, their Chinese business license number and Chinese ID numbers. That’s in addition to the usual name, address and phone number required by most top-level domain authorities.
