I asked this as a comment on my previous post, but I still have some questions. 1: If ML stands for Mali and they're not from Mali, then why would they represent a foreign country? 2: Since it's not Mali, what does the ML stand for? If it's a pair of letters, it represents a country or stands for two words. Machine Learning? McCartney Lennon? Mega Lemmy?

Why isn't there another domain that they could have used so it doesn't look like they're from Mali?

Why do you care? What does it matter? Who gives a shit?

I do.

Mind if I ask why? I don't like their political views, but this seems like a non-issue to me unless I'm not understanding something. They've never made any claims about living in Mali, and it's a popular and accepted trend of using domains that are convenient and cheap no matter their location. The only exceptions I believe are .gov and .edu.

Because it's representing a foreign country. I have a better grasp of it now, but I didn't understand why they did that.
