People forgetting to renew happens frequently too. Now what's more rare, Google banning someone for no reason or a person forgetting to renew and losing its domain?

Domains with their short term leases and meant-to-be-easy transfers between/among too many lowest common denominator, cost cutting providers and a technical standard/backend ripe for easy accidental dox leaks are an interesting case of almost built to cause social engineering attacks, in too many different ways. Not that any of the alternatives to DNS have yet proven to be half as reliable, but it's still fascinating how DNS is both simultaneously our best and worst hope for identity "ownership" on the current internet.
