I presume you mean there are cases where registrar's have "seized" a domain. Would be good if you had an example, because I sure can't find one.

Here you are, from last month: https://domainnamewire.com/2021/01/17/godaddy-explains-ar15-...

And by 'seizure', I think it is pretty clear that I mean 'revoking access to', in the same way as in the OP Google has revoked access to the given Google account.

Well, this is clearly not evidence if you bothered to visit https://www.ar15.com/index.html

Edit: Godaddy is not just a (crappy) registrar. GoDaddy is also a (crappy) hosting provided which I moved an organization out of.

Edit again: I guess I ought to explain domain names to you. Most DNS providers are crappy (unlike Cloudflare), and have a non-negligible TTL. Even if AR15 had access to GoDaddy's account to change their DNS records (A record for the www subdomain and root domain), it takes a while for new records to propagate globally.

More likely, what happened is GoDaddy told AR15 to take their domain to someone else. And thats what they did.

Looks like they were able to get the name transferred to Epik. Now try doing the same with your @gmail.com.
