Or rather for squatting. google.sucks is registered by Google LLC, microsoft.sucks by Microsoft Corporation, meta.sucks by Meta Platforms, Inc., and so on...
- jsheard 2y agoMicrosoft owns microsoft.sucks but they decided to redirect it to microsoft.com, which is a bit of an own goal. The others don't point to anything.
- bobthebutcher 2y agoLooks like the redirect doesn't work for me since they couldn't get their SSL working.. Truth in advertising at least.
- hnuser123456 2y agoThat's what they're saying. Corps are "forced" to buy their own domain with .sucks to prevent someone else from hosting something critical of the brands there. Whoever came up with .sucks gets to make money from people buying the domains just to prevent others from using them to actually host something.
