.io is the TLD for the British Indian Ocean Territory, which is associated with the forced displacement of the Chagos islander people to make room for the Diego Garcia military base, amongst others. The British unilaterally decided to detach the Chagos archipelago from Mauritius before it got independent, which the deported people say (not without reason) is a crime against their human rights.
