Cock.li links donated e-mail domain 'hitler.rocks' to two intelligence agencies, permanently removes it from registration
Hello, cock.li is back again.

Cock.li's administration team has identified connections between the registration and addition to cock.li of the domain

hitler.rocks

and two intelligence agencies who directly benefited from its association to the service. The administration team is declining to name the agencies or individuals.

Cock.li has provided free e-mail service to Internet users since 2013. Its assortment of shock domains has provided immeasurable comedic value to e-mail users worldwide, much to the shagrin of people with no funny bones. The domain itself has never ever mattered, what's always mattered is whether it could make us laugh when we imagine a friend receiving an e-mail and reading the domain aloud.
Case in point: The domain

horsefucker.org

was added before anyone remotely associated with cock.li realized its origins are from a community that watches My Little Pony porn. We've carried that clop for all these years because even after realizing its true origins, the story of this domain only got funnier.

The story of

hitler.rocks

did not get funnier when we uncovered its origins. After a thorough investigation which has taken place over the last several years, we've concluded it is extremely likely that

hitler.rocks

was originally offered to cock.li as a poison fruit intended to destabilize the service. And we are certain that the same agencies who were in a position to execute such an operation took every advantage of its association to cock.li, including threatening to associate the domain with unrelated parties in order to convince them to antagonize our service in various acts of cowardice.

In addition to threats, these same agencies are connected to actual attacks against the service. One individual associated with

hitler.rocks

and later connected to the identified agencies admitted to signing cock.li's abuse mailbox up for thousands of mailing lists, resulting in millions of spam e-mails and a measurable and permanent decrease in our efficiency in processing abuse reports.

We've long known that domains like

hitler.rocks

can lead to confusion of our values and have the potential for misuse. Clarifying those values would be like explaining the joke, so if you are still confused why we found the domain funny enough to host e-mail on, maybe you could understand that cock.li was never supposed to get so big that you would see it in the first place. We also don't give a shit what you find funny or not.

As a result of our investigation, we've decided that tainted domains like

hitler.rocks

which we conclude were offered to the service maliciously will never be available for registration again, and may be subject to a future sunset period and service closure. Most of the other domains which disappeared from registration at the same time are either not funny enough to re-add, or are still subject to their own investigation.

Any complaints about not naming the intelligence agencies responsible are valid. The investigation and disclosure could have been quicker, too. Sorry.
