> website under a .is domain (which is for Iceland, apparently).

I don’t super like repurposing country names like that. Including .io.

It feels this disregards the actual meaning of the extension while ignoring some very legal consequences to be under Indian legal system instead of EU or US.



To be fair most countries rolling out ccTLDs these days aren't doing it so patriotic citizens can represent their home country - it's an international cash grab. They're fine with randoms from all over the world giving them money, so randoms from all over the world are welcome to use their ccTLDs.
