- zinekeller 4y agoYeah, I'm not even sure if it's even correct to attribute it to Meta to be honest, it's been years that their registration system is known to be broken from time to time. At best the Meta lawsuit is the partial reason (not full reason) why they halted registrations, at worst it's just coincidence since that their systems were already broken for years.
- joecool1029 4y agoI have a domain paid on there so I don't need to keep a site live on it (there is legacy email stuff pointed there). This past year they let it expire after I paid, took almost 2 months for them to correct it. Previously this domain was unpaid and suspended for violating free TOS (need a website on the A record). I had to call this Dutch woman, we will call her Freenom lady, like 20 times for months to get her to finally unsuspend it and take my money for a paid registration. I'd say it was the worst but I have dealt with 1&1 and smaller enom resellers that disappeared. So if my registration gets screwed with now, who do I go after? The country with ccTLD is with?
- windthrown 4y agoI am not familiar with the legal specifics but per the article: "Although Freenom is based in The Netherlands, some of its other sister companies named as defendants in the lawsuit are incorporated in the United States."
