People who signed up on Telegram were set up to fail right from the get go. It doesn't feature default E2EE, it's not private, it's not secure... but there were plenty of users on there looking to buy whatever dark net goods and services you can offer. It's completely stupid when there are much better alternatives out there, but people go wherever other people are, just moving as a herd instead of a lone wolf. With everything that has happened over the last years, including the arrest of the Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet devs, it's clear that it's no longer possible to resist the government in any way out in the open anymore.

Because nobody cared enough to send an email lol

Reporting a domain is one of the easiest things to do here along with reporting someone for using a normie host to host illicit or controversial content. A recent service that was taken down was pacsa.us, which was hosting photorealistic AI generated CP. They used a normie host and the owner used his real PII in the domain registration with no whois guard or anything. It is astonishing how frequently people give no thought to any of this at all.

Also, there have been lots of other services that have been getting their domains suspended within the last several weeks, so I can just assume those attacks are going to be more frequently used and abused by threat actors. Nothing worthy of getting onto the front page, kinda like most DDoS attacks these days. They're just plain annoying, but not the end of the world.

It's technically still easy to get XMR, since you can just convert whatever coin into XMR and there are other exchange options. Only problem that I see with the big exchanges delisting coins is making it less likely for tech-illiterate normies to use the coins.
