And we know all ccTLDs are accurate, like how .tv always means the site is owned by people from Tuvalu.

- mdp2021 4y agoVery not relevant to the case in question, in which the TLD follows the norm: it is the title of a local paper.
- msla 4y agoThe person I'm replying to said that people here ought to know what country a site is relevant to based on the ccTLD. My point is that ccTLDs get used for all kinds of reasons, most of them quite irrelevant to the country they've ostensibly been assigned to.
- mdp2021 4y ago> said No, that is not what I said. I said (there implicitly and concisely, then explicitly nearby) that in this occasion and context - national news website issuing a title that implies "in this Country" - the TLD was revealing and will probably in general be revealing. This reasoning is of course not valid in general for other cases. In Bayesian terms, had the TLD been '.tv' the chances of the subject being Tuvalu would have increased only slightly, yet with other multipliers set as high given such a title.
