Isn't the .us TLD controlled by the government of the United States? Meaning they have the power to revoke access if they want to?

Just another canary in the coal mine. How many more do we need before we say "no more spelunking"?

They would need a court order, and to get that they would need to prove harm. So not impossible but it would take a while.
