      Isn’t the .us TLD controlled by the government of the United States? Meaning they have the power to revoke access if they want to?

        They would need a court order, and to get that they would need to prove harm. So not impossible but it would take a while.

          It’s also probably a bonus too. If the US takes them down like this it’s a huge sign that they’re far overstepping their bounds. Not that we really need more evidence of that, but it doesn’t hurt.
