> Context of the illegal image matters too. I'd be very pissed if it was a common shock image like goatse or a dead body, but more understanding if it was child porn.

Why should content be a concern, or relevant, for a registrar?

If this was a CDN then I guess that this sort of meddling could be debatable, but DNS?

Do internet service providers or apartment rentals or car rentals police your usage of their service?

So why would a glorified traffic signal be allowed to deny you service just because it disagrees with you?
