    "The domain name registrar Freenom, whose free domain names have long been a draw for spammers and phishers, has stopped allowing new domain name registrations. The move comes just days after the Dutch registrar was sued by Meta, which alleges the company ignores abuse complaints about phishing websites while monetizing traffic to those abusive domains."

    (My Grayware Filterlist has been blocking those five TLDs for a long time ;))

    Glad you're finding it helpful. The Twitter spammers have been keeping me busy adding domains this week! :D
