Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain

  That one is absolutely abhorrent because I know as a fact my parents would easily fall for a .zip domain leading to a virus infested site thinking it’s actually them getting a zip file because they don’t know better. At least the first few times they’d fall for it.

      Because they’re his parents, not yours

      The last time I talked to my mom about a zip file, she didn’t even fully understand what a zip file is. That’s how I know my mom would get confused.

      My dad, he’s better since he has and uses a laptop, so he knows more than my mom, but he’s still not the brightest when he has CCleaner and malwarebytes installed simultaneously on his laptop. Hell, back around 2018-2019 he was extremely stubborn about me trying to fix the family computer that had a password that I didn’t know on it. I just wanted to uninstall some bad programs (don’t remember which ones) and my dad was getting super anal about it. I have no doubt if he did accidentally click on a .zip web link, we’d never know because he’d be too stubborn to admit it.
