Addressing Government Seizure of Domain Names (baj.media)
1 point by democracy 7 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment

Are there any existing mechanisms or precedents for stopping a government from controlling and redistributing domain names? How have similar situations been addressed in the past?
