      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.

          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.

            Yes, and that would have happened months from now. The Taliban shut them down immediately.
