If you're going to scare monger at least get your facts straight.
1. They're done with a warrant from a judge. It's no different then freezing ones banking assets.
2. They do not pull anything for the root DNS servers. Instead, they're pulled at the TLD servers (.com, .net, and .org) which are all located within the US.
- nika 16y agoThere is no such thing as a "warrant to pull a domain" (or sieze a bank account) in the US legal system[1]. So, if a "judge" signed a piece of paper, that does not make it a warrant (legally). These were criminal acts, and that is the fact, jack. The TLD servers are root servers for the TLDs. Also, your hostility is not appropriate here. Even if someone makes errors, attacking them just says more about you than it does them. [1] Fourth amendment. The existence of a bank account is evidence, thus a warrant can be issued to seize a bank accounts records. But money is not itself evidence, it is fungible with any other money, thus these warrants are illegal under the fourth amendment, and anyone participating in their service or enforcement is a felon under USC 18-242.
