Biden-appointed Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday seized the domains of Iranian state media outlet Press TV as well as a bunch of other media outlets from throughout the Middle East.

The mass seizure of Middle East news websites comes just weeks after Israel decidedly lost the propaganda war in their latest bombing campaign in Gaza.

How long until they seize the domains of free speech websites over "hate speech"?

They're seizing the domain name, not the servers.

The US government has the ability to seize domain names.

A few years back, the US government did this with offshore gambling websites.

Will be interesting to see how this affects decentralization, since now state actors are being attacked directly.
