Why is Meta suing Freenom?

The lawsuit points to a 2021 study (PDF) on the abuse of domains conducted by Interisle Consulting Group, which discovered that those ccTLDs operated by Freenom made up five of the Top Ten TLDs most abused by phishers.

Oof. Also what a bizarre landscape where this comes out in 2021 and the only action on it is a private corporation personally suing them over a year later. Where's ENISA and EC3?

There is also the recent news about how millions of US Military emails (.mil) were sent to Malia instead (.ml).

That's got to be fake news or satire, right? Right?

Like, how is it even possible to send to .ml instead of .mil? 'i' and 'l' are not even close enough to fat-finger it on most keyboards, and even if you did, it wouls have to be by using the same finger for both 'i' and 'l', which means you'd physically register the double tap.

Well, and here I was thinking that the next Wikileaks news package / Snowden Style hero would actually need to make some effort...

The US never ceases to amaze me how retrograde it can be as a country.
