Only tangentially related, but I'm disappointed that none of the .io domain revenue goes to the juristiction it represents

That particular jurisdiction exists pretty unethically as well, which somewhat puts me off sites that use it.

The British Indian Ocean Territory was formed specifically to prevent the native inhabitants from gaining self-determination, allowing for a joint UK/US military base to be set up. The inhabitants were forcibly expelled in the 1960s, and ever since then the British government have taken active, sometimes deceptive, measures to prevent them from ever returning. You should look it up.
