It’s a security issue to have a goo.gl domain that redirects to arbitrary pages. Attackers can find goo.gl links that go to expired domains, register them, and then they have a goo.gl link to use in phishing attacks.
Giving the domain to a 3rd party is not going to happen.
So it was already a security issue for goo.gl to exist in first place?
The point is whether Google considered any other options than keep operating it or burning everything to the ground. Google could also keep the domain and let users reach a intermediary landing page of the Internet Archive first
