Correct. A recent example on how that can bite was Brexit. Owning a .eu domain requires to be resident inside the EU. |
@matthewskelton @GossiTheDog Sadly this seems to be a thing a lot of people miss, I see a lot of commentary framing this as a Taliban specific issue, which in reality isn't. A lot of TLDs have specific requirements, and the country coded ones are often a lot more specific. In THIS case it's a Taliban issue, but it could just as well have been a domain being removed because the owner lives in the wrong place.
