This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
the Taliban spokesperson, Alokozai, claimed that the suspensions had nothing to do with the content of some of the domains, indicating that payment would reverse the suspension.
There's something funny about everyone assuming the domain was taken down for religious reasons, and the taliban having to clarify that they don't give a shit and just want money.
Tbf it does become an ideological dispute if the customers are like "we'd be perfectly willing to pay if the money wasn't going to the Taliban"
It would be ironic .af
Yeah no way I'm gonna believe to religious extremists when the come up with excuses for their horrible behaviour.
There are hundreds of gTLDs now, maybe everyone can stop abusing country code TLDs and leave them for their intended purposes.
How else am I gonna have a neat.af domain tho
Use the Australian football league one neat.afl and hope that nobody notices the L that the Taliban have inflicted on the rest of us
Haha, damn, alright I grant this is actually funny, unlike most commentary about the Taliban connection.
Have my upvote, and please proceed to DadJokes, where you clearly belong!
No
Especially in tech, if an intended purpose isn't actually enforced then that's as good as having no intended purpose at all.
Though the .af domain is related to the country of Afghanistan, ‘af’ is also a commonly used abbreviation in the English language, hence its use in non-Afghan sites.
