The Wikipedia article captures relevant facts from the blog post, in a tone consistent with Wikipedia's standards, for what that's worth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io I admit I never considered the provenance of .io and its geopolitical history. I also use some .me domains that I now think I should have considered more carefully. Reading about it now, I take the original article's point that a geo TLD that seems cute or fun or clever in one culture could have a very different connotation in another culture. It may or may not be an ethics issue, depending on perspective, but that ambiguity might at the very least be an optics issue, since there is a moral question for at least some reasonable observers. It appears that foreign use of these geo TLDs says something one way or another about a site/service/brand, whether that's support for the country or some sort of colonialism or something else altogether.
