Only tangentially related, but I’m disappointed that none of the .io
domain revenue goes to the juristiction it represents

That particular jurisdiction exists pretty unethically as well, which somewhat puts me off sites that use it.

Could I ask what you’re referring to by this comment?

The British Indian Ocean Territory was formed specifically to prevent the native inhabitants from gaining self-determination, allowing for a joint UK/US military base to be set up. The inhabitants were forcibly expelled in the 1960s, and ever since then the British government have taken active, sometimes deceptive, measures to prevent them from ever returning. You should look it up.

I assume it’s an oblique reference to British Colonialism. Seems like an odd topic to attach so directly to British imperialism, but whatever.

It’s pretty bad even in the context of British Colonialism and notably recent.
