Hypothetically if some scary evil person were to register a domain with some accredited registrar - say GoDaddy or Tucows - could they arbitrarily seize it for "content policy" reasons? Like "your site has Dave Chapelle jokes which we don't like" so we took your domain.
Or do they stand to lose something in a major way if they do this?

Some TLDs like .ml (Mali) which gives away domain names as a public service (why doesn't every TLD do that?!) have very explicit content policies: http://www.point.ml/en/ml_contentpolicy_combined_v0100.pdf http://www.point.ml/en/ml_contentpolicy_combined_v0100.pdf
