TL;DR

nitter.net is unavailable because Njalla (domain vendor) suspended my account. I'm waiting for them to respond.

someone filed a complaint to Njalla about unconsensual nudity being hosted on nitter.net, with a link that actually came from another instance. It's the first time I've ever gotten any semblance of a takedown request via Njalla, so I didn't think much of it when I got an email with the subject "Njalla: New Message", and the body just being a link, while traveling. A couple days later and one more email, they just suspended the account. I only found out when nitter.net became unreachable.

it seems problem solved and the site is backed.

so Njalla really does hijack people's domains? Like once they get BIG, but f*cking others and your own reputation is a bad business, and words spread.

We’ll see far more of this practice, with censorship increasing and as people start to seek more niche forms of hosting.

Much easier to get a site back up and running if your host issues the take down. Not so much with a domain, given customers don’t know where to go.

That's a risk, single point of failure with every domain registar. Tor onion services and I2P are actually superior in this regard.
