> domain.net part is still susceptible to being seized

Yes it is, but how do you discover the domains? There could be just a few hundred users per domain. Then you have to expend substantial effort to seize each domain.

Meanwhile any affected user just moves to their second domain. Even if the authorities got much better at taking down domains the only issue would be increasing the number of extra domains per user.

I can't see how the authorities can beat this.



I had to use https://singlelogin.me/ for it to generate the special domain, so can't the central https://singlelogin.me/ domain be seized at some point?


Yeah but that’s only used for creating the unique domain, and it wouldn’t affect user domains. So if that one goes down, they’ll just have throw the registration page up on a new domain.


From the article:

> If users can’t access the universal login page, Z-Library says they can log in through TOR or I2P and get their personal clearnet domains there.
