Government announcement: Operation Protect Our Children

"Child porn" and "counterfeiting" are evidently so important to stop that these clowns can't even do due diligence when figuring out what to seize.  Think of the children!

Teh chilluns!  Teh chilluns!!1eleventy1!

Sigh.  All in the name of "safety."

I love my country.  I hate my government.  Evidently I deserve the government that my fellow citizens have elected and instituted for me. :facepalm: [barf]

Yea, they can do this and they can't work with ICANN to deal with cybersquatters.  Great.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

FTFY.

OK, OK, some innocent folks were hurt, but all the big-name "victims" were guilty as hell: Rosenbergs, Hollywood commies, etc.

No big left wing poo-bahs have been caught up in the kiddie porn mess, so it is of no concern to the usual suspects.
