And this was probably inevitable.
Yeah but now it’s owned by the Taliban meaning the queer is coming from inside the house.
Gottem.
Always has been. Bacha bazi is still common in Afghanistan.
For what it’s worth, I guess they saw this coming.
The irony of this being crossposted from ML.

Oh I’m not giving you grief, I just think it’s funny.
the article is on a CO site
🤌
I’m honestly surprised how long it took. As soon as I saw the server’s domain I thought, “that’s not going to go over well in Afghanistan.” I didn’t realize that the Taliban just hadn’t gotten around to reviewing their TLD yet.
What’s wrong with 2 letter country TLDs?
.uk .de .us .nl etc all seem like okay candidates
They used .af because in modern english, “af” stands for “as fuck”
As in “queer. As fuck”, meaning VERY queer

Right. So how do you differentiate between the 2-letters ones and 3+? Each TLD can have domains requisitiioned by a government, even if its indirect through ICANN.

The US regularly seize domains, even those with foreign registrars. I don’t feel that any tld is immune from this. Sure there are some TLDs more at risk than others, like .af being in control of the Taliban, but I’d also say US controlled TLDs are not the least at risk.
Some interesting articles about this
