Just wondering if registrars have to abide by their counties laws when it comes to domain names or do they follow ICAAN rules first.
For example say someone registers a .com from a registrar in the US but the server where the domain is hosted is in another country. This domain/website is used to sell a product that is illegal in the US but not the host country. Can the US gov force/muscle the registrar to cancel/change the domain ownership. Or use the excuse that that domain was registered in the US to track emails/commerce activities from the said domain.
Thanks
