Ask HN: Is .org now Trump-controlled? 4 by selfhoster1312 | 1 comments on Hacker News. At first i read about the sanctions, but didn't realize autistici.org has been seized at the TLD level. Does this mean Donald Trump can now disable any foreign .org domain they don't like without any form of process or trial? I mean sure the US government technically always could by threatening the operators with guns, but i remember the balance of power was different for thepiratebay.org/wikileaks.org. Is there an ongoing savedotorg-like campaign i'm unaware of to have ICANN revoke the current delegation and setup a new non-profit to manage .org outside of US jurisdiction? I mean, given how the Trump administration literally banned words, i can definitely see wikipedia.org (among many others) being targeted next.
