You have either no clue how DNS works or are entirely out of your depth wrt the definition of de-/centralization..

  ICANN has an entire dispute resolution set up for businesses to use to take away domain names from users. Local laws do not apply, there is no independent or impartial court, it is entirely centralized decision making by ICANN if they will take away your domain name and give it to someone else. It is exactly the same as when Twitter recently took away @metaverse handle from a active user and gave it to Facebook. At least in the case of Twitter when faced With user backlash and public support they reversed their decision and took @metaverse back from Facebook and returned it to the user. In practice ICANN is even more centralized than Twitter, because ICANN isn’t accountable to its users. It’s clear you don’t know how ICANN words, and are entirely out of your depth wrt the definition of de/centralized. You likely also have a conflict of interest.

    You really have no idea how DNS works then. ICANN can do that for .com domains, because that's their TLD. They cannot do it for the TLDs they've already sold/aren't responsible for. You can even purchase your own TLD from ICANN if you've got the money and create whatever domain names you want. Maybe stop talking about stuff you've no clue about, otherwise you'll forever be a dunning kruger person
