> clearly sarcastic domains such as... Not sure where that guy is from (and also dont want to judge the story at all),.. BUT there is not much like that here but one of the few and also by law forbidden taboos is this. With that, you are never clearly sarcastic, the opposite. No excuse, sorry.

He is from the US, but lives in Romania. For a long time, cock.li was hosted on Hetzner - until a bunch of bomb threats to schools in the US originated there. There was a fun little bit of government overreach involved too, since the german police seized the server twice - the first time they only took a single drive (probably as advised by Hetzner staff), and then, a week later, they demanded the entire server. It's pretty much implied that this was at the behest of US authorities, since a related FOIA request at the german feds was denied with "may cause adverse affects on international relations"
