The US JOG is using their department of Immigration and Customs to seize foreign (non US owned) websites. ICANN is US controlled and has the power to shut down or seize any domain name in the world and will do so whenever the JOG demand it.
There is less chance of this happening to us, but if the JOG ever add the Alliance to the domestic terrorism list, then it is likely that our domain names will be seized by either the department of Immigration and Customs (if we were to ship them overseas and risk draconian Semitic anti-Free Speech Hate Laws) or the Department of Justice (if we leave them where they are free from interference as part of the US Constitutional First Amendment re Free Speech).
Remember that however unlikely is the seizer of our sites by the JOG, it is still possible they may do so. So always back up everything you find on or contribute to our sites, and like a Boy Scout, be prepared!
