Will the .io domain cease to exist? | Tuta

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
They do, that’s why this is an issue in the first place. The purpose of ccTLDs is to host domains associated with a particular country. If the country stops existing, there’s no reason to use that country’s ccTLD. The problem is they let anyone register domains under this ccTLD even if they have no association with that country, hence the situation we’re in.
Actually I believe you had to be a British national to register. Well at least you're supposed to be a British national I'm not sure how much they checked.
Zero checking. Anyone can register a .io. You can go register one right now in 5 minutes if you wanted.
