There’s a tremendous amount of malware and phishing, and even some national
military cyber-offensive stuff, in the domains that Freenom gave away for free.
Each of the countries that’s repatriating gets to make its own policy decision
about how it wants to handle those, but most of them seem to be leaning toward
“flush all the bad stuff and let people re-justify if they can.” Having looked
closely at the registrations, I can say that I have pretty high confidence that
very few good domains are likely to get caught up with the bad, in that
flushing process, and the good ones should be able to re-authenticate
themselves to the legit registry.
