Which of the following websites is not run by the U.S. government?
  1. dotgov.gov
  2. whitehouse.gov
  3. whitehouse.com
  4. All of the websites belong to the U.S. government.
Explanation
Answer: C - whitehouse.com is a pornography website not run by the U.S. government. Though its name obviously evokes a connection to the White House, it is a trick to direct unsuspecting Internet users to the website when they are most likely searching for government or historical information. As the Internet's popularity soared in the mid-to-late '90s, and companies and governments offices began to publish informative websites, whitehouse.com drew a great deal of attention when numerous users found adult content when they expected to find government information. All U.S. government websites end in the domain .gov, indicating they are run and monitored by government officials.
