As part of the actions announced, today, the FBI has seized the domains of multiple "video game" websites, targeting "illicit marketplaces". This raises an intriguing question: How will this approach extend to ENS (.eth) names AND decentralized 0x-smart contract addresses, (which are like IP addresses)? My hypothesis: Censorship will need to occur at the browser, app & dApp level, leveraging centralized infrastructure (DNS resolvers, infrastructure, & other user-service providers) to block access. However, given the decentralized nature of Ethereum & ENS, direct seizure of a .eth name (or 0x any contract/wallet address) seems challenging, (sometimes even if the owner's identity is known). What do you think? Centralized authorities could potentially: 1. Pressure Registrar-Level Controls: Collaborate with ENS registrars to suspend specific .eth names, (though this requires coordination with the Ethereum Name Service DAO & Service Providers, etc., which is counter to the DAO's absolute top priority for not infringing the "namespace or property rights"). 2. Browser/DApp Blacklisting: Enforce filters via major browsers (Brave/ Chrome) or popular wallets (MetaMask/ CB TBA-Wallet) to restrict resolution of sanctioned names. 3. IPFS/Node Restrictions: Target IPFS gateways or commercial & personal node operators hosting content linked to these addresses, (though EVM decentralization limits effectiveness). Given smart contracts' immutability, full censorship might be impractical without broad ecosystem buy-in, (potentially sparking a cat-and-mouse game between regulators & decentralized tech). Nevertheless, censorship will happen at some level, (even if some "Web3 domains & 0x-addresses" owners themselves can remain immutable AND censorship-resistant). Thoughts?
