Action

multi-domain marketplace seizure

BEFORE

The last replayable capture found immediately before the announced action already displayed a seizure page, so it was rejected as before evidence.

AFTER

BEFORE is shown only when a separately sourced public capture exists strictly before the seizure date. AFTER is the content-addressed upstream seizure-banner object.

These are archival labels, not live links. A seized, expired, or reassigned domain is a poor place to send readers without warning.
