6) In the spec we clarify: "While DNS is distributed, in practice it relies on centralized, trusted registrars to provide globally unique names. As the awareness of the central role DNS plays on the Internet rises, various institutions are using their power (including legal means) to engage in attacks on the DNS, thus threatening the global availability and integrity of information on the Internet."

The problem is that the current implementation and deployment of DNS is the issue. GNS has built-in security privacy using crypto and p2p on the one hand with enough user-centric flexibility for trust and zone governance on the other to mitigate power grabs.

I hate that I had to double check when you said "GNS uses crypto" and realised you meant crypto as in cryptography, not the other meaning commonly associated with blockchain coins.
