I mean, the entire internet is owned by a few corporations. everything from the infrastructure to the entire DNS system is owned and controlled by corporations. in the case of DNS, it’s even an american corporation, that so far has kept its hands off of things and supposedly has not been interfered with by the US government.
well, if the people in charge of DNS decided to do something to DNS, they just could and the whole world would be at their mercy for potentially months. with how everything is digital these days, by taking down DNS for a single country you could cripple their economy and many of their public services. that means power, water, infrastructure like bridges, their internet, banking, etc. basically, you name it, it probably uses the internet in some way, and if it uses the internet then chances are it uses DNS. now, eventually, people would work around it if given the chance, but if you do something like that it’s probably happening right before a general invasion of their country.
it’s really bad that we have just one authority in charge of all that, especially one based in the US. with how authoritarian the US is getting, I fully expect DNS to be weaponized in some way at some point.

My thoughts is that they feel the need to control everything. And we all know how that goes usually…

I’m guessing the concern would be resolving them to the wrong address, either to censor or to serve disinformation.
