Great, now amid looking for ways to get my family out I also have to find another registrar who will not do the same thing and transfer my domains so that my cloud and email are still working.

Any politically neutral registrars that HN crowd can recommend?

If a politically neutral registrar is one without employees in a location that has been threatened with 'never-before-seen consequences' - I'm stumped.

njal.la. Sign up via tor, pay with crypto. They'll never know where you're from, nor do they want to.

Yeah just like people in North Korea stopped putting up with the regime. Do you think it’s their own fault as well?

Have you ever tried to fight against the regime at the cost of spending years in prison or to be killed?

Namecheap used to be that way. They put out a blog post last year about how they support free speech.

Good find. Total hypocrites. We need a permanent archive of corporate hypocrisy somewhere, then we need a wallet that checks it before letting you pay. That will sort the bastards out.

I don't know if it's still true nowadays but Gandi was started by a group of hackers / Internet libertarians who were involved (as defenders) in the very first cases of Internet censorship in France.

So hopefully they have kept that spirit and don't do any of that bullshit.
