    The IP seems to be in Norway, vaguely around Oslo, and owned by TerraHost. IANAL but I assume this means Lemmygrad could be taken down by either the hosting provider or Norwegian/EEA law. Someone more knowledgeable can probably answer how likely this is, but my guess is “not very”.

    As for your other question, no matter where this was hosted, the government of said country could probably take it down if it so wanted. All clearnet domains are under jurisdiction of either a national government (for .ml, this would be Mali) or ICANN, and physical servers obviously can be raided.

    I do, however, doubt the Norwegian government cares enough about some marxists on the internet to go through the process of judicial approval for seizure of the servers, and the folks in Mali definitely have more pressing matters right now.
