I would've 100% sued and paid for PR releases if they deleted a domain name I owned.

I'm sure I could make decent money off punitive damages based off the email they sent, and these headlines would be pretty catchy -

"Tech giant siezed and deleted a customers domain name."

"Using Cloudflare can destroy your business overnight. This is how"

"Own a domain name? Your registrar can delete it without any recourse."

"Cloudflare siezed and deleted a customers' domain"

I'd need to check if I can use the word "illegally" in the title.

I hope they compensate OP. I'm sure they could still sue them if inclined..ICANN should have some rules about this.

I implore you to consider alerting media outlets about Cloudflares abusive actions anyway. More needs to be down to expose CloudFlare’s abusive actions. They can’t keep getting away with this.
I don't wanna spend money or effort on it since I wasn't involved.
