It completely crazy and I'm very surprised it hasn't hit the HN front page yet. The number of US websites that spread misinformation is near infinite yet i've never heard of them getting seized for that reason. I wonder if the US agencies pressured a registrar or a registry to gain control over the domains? If it's the registrar then you could pick one outside of US juristriction. If they went after the registry then it's a much bigger issue, the entire TLD has to be considered problematic. Edit: The US claims that the american companies that owned these domains failed to obtain licenses required due to US sanctions.
