This comment is a part of the chain that starts with a very judgemental comment and is an answer to a response challenging that starting one. You don't need legal knowledge of the French law to want to distinguish real child abuse from imaginary. One can give arguments why the latter is also bad, but this is not an automatic judgment, should not depend on the laws of a particular country and I, for one, am deeply shocked that some could think it's the same crime of the same severity.

For something that you think is a de-facto standard, public suffix list seems kinda raw to me for now.

I checked it for two popular public suffixes that came to mind: 'livejournal.com' and 'substack.com'. Both weren't there.

Maybe I'm mistaken, it's not a bug and these suffixes shouldn't be included, but I can't think of the reason why.

I think this is just an "r>g" rule made famous by Piketty. When r (return on investment) is bigger than g (overall economy's growth), the rich get richer. It's unsustainable in a pure mathematical sense, the rich cannot own more than 100% of economy, so at some moment this system breaks, and one can only hope that it doesn't break violently.

Piketty somehow wrote a 1000 page book about that, and a slightly controversial one, but an idea is very simple and, I think, hard to argue against.
