I buy a domain name, I get it from a registrar. If I did naughty things on
that site, surely the registrar could delete my account?

The registrar just keeps the records so that someone else
can't use the same domain. Buying a domain name is
really renting that process of being in the system,
so that you can use AceAndAcme.com and no one else
can. If you buy the domain name from someone that's
a separate, private transaction.

The second part of that would be the actual policing.
You'd need evidence and some kind of authority willing
to spend the time and money. Many times a domain
owner is hard to trace. If you're attacked by a Russian-
owned website, do you really think you can call the
Russian police to clean it up? They've historically protected
their malicious hackers. I suspect those hackers pay
kickbacks to the gov't. In other words, you're not in
Kansas anymore.

That might work on social sites like Reddit. You can
complain that someone called you fat, or ugly, or that
they didn't properly use your chosen, non-gender-binary
pronoun, and they might get banned. But it doesn't work
that way on the Internet.

Even aside from all that, you don't know for sure
that the page is carrying out an attack. It might just
be an ad. Google is certainly not going to be disturbed
if someone sets up websites like saers.com or
tagret.com and shows ads. Google's getting their money.
Ads are not illegal. If you typed in tagret.com and saw
an ad, that's not a crime. That's what we call being an
entreprenuer. It's the most admired profession in America.
And America is God's country. What are you, a commie
atheist socialist?
