So while comparisons between domains and real estate are valid, in this aspect of regulation I don't think it applies.
Also with top level domains being an international thing no one goverment can set these laws. Maybe country code domains sure, but not the top level ones.

All I'm saying is you never know what governments can do since they can do anything they want to.
Example:
Currently individuals who want to set up an Internet account or even use a computer in an Internet cafe must first fill out the Police File Report Form which goes to the local MPS and to the provincial-level MPS Computer Security and Supervision Office. New users also need to sign a Net Access Responsibility Agreement in which they swear not to threaten state security or reveal state secrets or to do anything that "endangers the state, obstructs public safety, or is obscene or pornographic." Finally, if they are getting a dial-up account, they must provide their ISP with detailed information including the MPS permit number for their modem.
