Submission + - Sweden Bans "b", "a", "n", (circleid.com) 1
netczar writes: According to a report by Patrik Fältström, Sweden's regulatory body, PTS, has notified the country's top-level domain registry .SE (The Internet Infrastructure Foundation) to blacklist sequence of characters 'b', 'a', 'n', and 'k' in all domain name registrations under the .se domain. Patrick writes: 'This is, as people know (except PTS obviously), is not how domain name registration works. Instead, one is strengthening the dispute resolution process so that it is more well known what will happen if some infringement is happening. Next step is of course to have more terms than 'bank' be added to this black list. Like registered trademarks in the world, and other terms. For example everything in Wikipedia!'
