[At-Large] DomainIncite : Is this why WhatsApp hates some TLDs but not others?

[bzs at theworld.com]

As a company which provides email and other internet services maybe if
the new gTLDs agreements included some serious commitment to avoid
allowing the use of these gTLDs for massive spamming and phishing etc
maybe the service providers would have been more enthusiastic about
acceptance.

Unfortunately the opposite is true and many of these new gTlDs can
safely be blocked in entirety, they just spew spam etc, with no
customer complaints.

I'll guess these new gTLD registrars/registries would complain that's
not equitable since it's not required of other TLDs.

Which is all a very nice argument to make sitting in an airless room
somewhere.

So instead they tend to get blocked and ignored, or at least marked
"suspicious" by spam filters, but equitably!

If I had a nickel for every ISP who said or recommended "oh just block
all .pick-a-nGTLD, you and your customers will be happier"...
