Donuts' lays out its protection mechanisms that are uniform across nearly all of its TLDs, while Momentous notably commits their potential .sucks registry from expert evaluation panel to identify cyberbullying, pornographic sites, and parked pages, which are then to be subject to rapid takedown.[2]
