There are thousands of other registrars out there. GoDaddy doesn't want them, they can move to someone who does. Once they've gone through them all and been rejected by every last one I'll accept that maybe maybe something should be done. Then again if you are being rejected by every single registrar out there maybe you should look inward for the problem.

That's a very libertarian take. "Why should a business have to cater to black people? Or be forced to build a ramp for a handicapped person? The market will take care of it, there are plenty of grocers in town."

DNS and network connectivity are pretty effing vital to using the web. Again, it's a much more fundamental layer than the app store, and while yes there are other registrars, I'm not sure we should condone this.

And practically, how quickly can they move to get their domain moved to another registrar? Get their nameservers moved?
