Note that I asked Two questions. Your answer appears directed to the
second question. The answer to the first question appears fairly clear
to me. Administrators of a system can restrict or delete a user
account. It really is as simple as that. So in that respect the answer
is that ultimately an individual account users do not supersede the
wishes/policy of the domain owners representatives.
The second question is a bit more interesting, but ultimately leads
one back to the first question. As far as being long settled, I would
think that NSF AUP is an interesting precedent.

Sorry, I misread the text I responded to. To some extent, we all tend
to be ambiguous in our references -- though the specific text I misread
was not -- and it will help if we are all a lot more consistently precise.
For example:
Author: creates content
Author Domain: controls the use of the domain, per the statement I
misread. And yes, the domain owner has ultimate authority over polices
of how the domain is used, by those subject to administration by the
domain owner. Obviously the domain owner has no 'authority' over those
using the domain without authorization. For this latter set of folk,
the most the domain owner can do is provide information to receivers of
unauthorized use.
Receivers: They have full and complete authority over their operations.
Period, full stop. There is no 'overriding' the so-called policies of
anyone with whom they do not have a pre-existing relationship.
Recipients: They are, of course, subject to the policies of the owner of
the platform being used. They, to, are not subject to the desires of
authors or author domain owners, except as the recipient themselves desire.
Really, it will help to be boringly, redundantly precise with every
reference, to leave no room for misunderstanding which actor is being
referenced.
