And you have system and reputational damages.
Go for small claims suit, $5000. It'll cost more than that for their attorney to go to your jurisdiction.
(IAAL, but this is not legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney for legal advice.)
If I'm the only one with access to the site, they're calling me an attacker and saying that I might try to steal passwords, credit card info, etc.. If they're calling me an attacker, that seems like more than an opinion. Wouldn't they have to prove I'm a bad guy if they're asserting I'm a bad guy?
it's not meant to have any other consequences
so basically what happens is that because of hearsay of google thinking you site is not bad Radix does what normally should involve a judge order (taking down the whole domain)
(1): Yes that still would cause damages on any site with customers, but like way less and way more fixable then what happened here.
I was price-gouged out of owning a single, rare .icu domain when renewal fee for it went from 20 usd to 220 usd overnight, just for this one domain... I'm pretty sure it's not Gandi, but the TLD opetator, because other .icu domains I've had were fine. I decided to eventually abandon them all anyway. Moved away from Gandi later when they started doing gouging of their own, too.
What is HN's opinion on Dynadot?
More than what Gandi is now? 100%

Could be very interesting for the people who love/host on scaleway.
Scaleway is a good company fwiw imo.

.mil and .gov have always been too strict for ordinary folks though.
