    The Chagos Refugees are seeking repatriation of the .io domain name and fees. They likely don’t want people to stop using that domain unless they lose that case.

      So in other words, tech companies divesting of it would potentially HURT the Chagos people, since they will receive that money if they gain control of the TLD. Amazing.

        The UN can’t even get them back their land, what makes you think international law is going to go out of the way to give them money for a domain?

      Wouldn’t that need to be done if they’re given the islands back, though?
