It's like being unable to get a passport because Microsoft has you on The List, and Microsoft needs to see your passport to check why you're on the list.

Considering that getting a domain is a normal part of business these days, this kind of thing should be illegal. Not to mention, why does Google have any say in this?

You know it's getting bad out there when corporations act like the government.

It's like the domain registrar is acting like a vassal state. I don't think Google actually has any say in their decision.
