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”
That isn’t what happened according to the queer.af admins. They decided to let the domain registration lapse cause they didn’t want to support that government fiscally even indirectly.
You say that as if every other TLD does not also have its own particularities. Do some basic research on a TLD before committing to it. For example, .cat is not for your cat pics.
Giggling at the thought of the Taliban leadership being told what “af” means… they’re probably a bit miffed about that. Perhaps they’ll take it on the chin and set up taliban.af or something.

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

LOL, serves them right! 😂
Well, they literally signed up for this…

I doubt they have the sense of humour for that.
