U.S. accidentally seizes 84K innocent domains

http://j.mp/hFYqKX  (TorrentFreak)

    The US Government has yet again shuttered several domain names this
    week. The Department of Justice and Homeland Security's ICE office
    proudly announced that they had seized domains related to counterfeit
    goods and child pornography. What they failed to mention, however, is
    that one of the targeted domains belongs to a free DNS provider, and
    that 84,000 websites were wrongfully accused of links to child
    pornography crimes.
