Icelandic domains are forced to be removed for violating its (much larger than most other countries) broad hate speech laws, .de's can be taken down for Germany's insanely broad slander laws, and .ru, is well, Russia, and Rozkomnadzor has the power to demand a site shut down arbitrarily. I'd be cautious of following the linked post.
