[At-Large] U.S. seizure of .ORG domain name

[Adam Peake]

I'd have no objection if ICE had used GoDaddy as the route to take 
down the site. Registrants have choice.  TLD is different.

My comment "this isn't a legal action, there has been no court case, 
no due process." was extreme.  I've no idea what process has been 
followed.
