This actually happened when these sanctions were first implemented. US registrars notified their customers from Crimea that they wouldn't be providing them any services from now on, and the customers all just quietly migrated to European registrars.
See the difference? Domains were not seized, traffic was not silently redirected to /dev/null. Microsoft could do something along these lines too, but instead just chose to be evil.
- vbezhenar 7y agoI can see the difference between Microsoft and some of those companies. I'm not sure that some particular company won't act in Microsoft's way. May be there's some regulation above those companies that they must let their customers to move domains if they don't want to work with them? That's what I asked. Other than that, those are just anecdotal cases.
