Very interesting thank you. Does it work similar to federation wherein if ICANN don’t recognise you you cannot be linked to? Or is this organisation where the buck stops with the internet.
That has to do with Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), run by ICANN, who oversee IP address allocation and root zone management of DNS. DNS is the database/system that maps domain names to IP addresses, if you’re not aware.
No, tor has nothing to do with regular domain names.
With few exceptions, this is where the buck stops with the internet. If ICANN doesn’t recognize you, “the world” can’t associate your IP address to a domain name. Some “alt dns root zones” exist, but they’re either rogue states, bad actors, or even in one case, a crypto grift.

Are the likes of tor sites registered there?
