Re: (Almost) for sure
This isn't censorship. It's small-time harassment. It's stupid, but it's nothing even vaguely like what India, for example, is trying to do to the social-media firms.
The equivalent would be India seizing twitter.in in a fit of pique.
But, yes, it's dumb that they were able to do this in the first place. Control of the classic gTLDs needs better protection, if only to save us from annoyance. (The US Federal government is welcome to seize anything in the new gTLDs, as far as I'm concerned. If those have any legitimate use I've missed it.)
