After years in limbo, the Taliban recently began reoperating Afghanistan's .af TLD, which is breaking parts of the internet.

Do not use 2 letter country TLDs!

    Not a fan of clickbait.

    Edit: I was mistaken, my bad. I thought the article was referring to the admin deciding not to renew the queer.af domain, which was reported a few months ago.

        Because the article title suggests they specifically targeted queer.af. A better title would have been something along the lines of “taliban take control of Afghanistan’s .af tld breaking websites including queer.af”

          Not really. The Taliban took control of .af a while ago. It wasn’t them taking control that broke things, it was that they specifically targeted certain domains and took them down using control they had secured previously, with queer.af being a great example.

      The title literally says exactly what happened though. You just added context that isn’t there. It doesn’t imply anything.
