And the .sy boom until startups got enough heat for, you know, funding the Assad regime.

Apparently nobody cares that .af is now funding the Taliban

The terms of using that tld say it must comply with Sharia law

pretty strict and apparently the Minister of that agency doesnt care that .af is a domain hack for “as fuck” in the west

In other words, he doesn't give a fuck

1. Be Sharia law

2. Sell domain name that's against Sharia law

3. Retake it back when someone buys it, because it's against the law

4. Repeat and profit

yeah it was right there

What website/service actually uses that?

A Mastodon instance used it: https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/12/24071036/queer-af-mastodo...

I thought that ended up being because the registrar didn't pay it's bill to the Afghan government?

During Pride Month?!?
