However, as the East Asian languages might cause blocking,
every .COM user is required to provide a language tag. So
in that sense, every gTLD will have very special policies.


The .com and .net domains are operated by VeriSign:

VeriSign appears to have adopted the Chinese blocking:

Do you know whether any of the other gTLDs have adopted the Chinese blocking?

Also, does any registry have blocking for any languages other than Chinese?

Thanks,
