DZ: Trump Media Org + Weird BGP Policy Stuff

Interesting, it appears that AS954 (formally owned by a personal/hobby network operator) has (very likely) sold it to the Trump Media Organisation.

It's kind of interesting that they were interested in that in the first place, a low asn number has some sort of prestige in some circles despite it basically just being an integer, but it has no technical upside.

I assume AS954 will be hosting truth social eventually, I presume the thinking is that running stuff on your own AS will be more resilient against IaaS providers taking them down due to content policy.

(I've censored some of this screenshots primarily because I don't think anybody should be harassing any of the parties involved, so don't go and do that)
