Domain Names and Freedom of Expression

The Ministry of Injustice have a number of domains names that can be used to access the MOI and other websites.

All domains are used for a lawful purpose in line with the relevant domain registry rules. The domains are clearly not being used to commit fraud or deceive the public.

A few of the MOI domain names have recently been temporarily suspended by Nominet and then reactivated having followed their verification process.

One particular domain name has been suspended and reactivated twice following a report to Nominet by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB).

I am told suspension is “Something you are just going to have to live with” which seems in breach of my Human Right to “impart information and ideas without interference by public authority”

Freedom of expression

1 Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

2 The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

Article 10 of the Human Rights Act

If the public authorities don’t like certain domain names being used, then why didn’t they register them for themselves ?
