    Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I’m genuinely curious.

          yah i forgor about that
          but technically you can, but with a self signed certificate only (ehich are less secure; or by asking people to set up the dns manually)
          with self signed certs you don’t lose encryption, but the client won’t be able to make sure that it’s connecting to your server specifically

            Technically they could by manually verifying the cert from somewhere offline.

      From what I know, the for network fits this

      1. They need to have access to the private key to seize (and even then, the site can be taken back to warn others)
      2. Lack of centralised link buying service
