This is presumably the real target of the lawsuit: the domain operators. There will likely be injunctions taking down the domains.

Several domains previously used by Anna have been lost.
I assume that they may have been seized as a consequence of this trial.

there are ways to buy domains using crypto and being completely anonymous.
Yes your honor, we've identified one Big Bird of 123 Sesame St as being affiliated with the operators of the site based on the registration data.
The only reason you have to tell the truth is if you want to reduce the risk of arbitrarily losing control of the domain, such as having a chance to contest any abuse reports that might be filed against you.
