I agree that the use of ccTLDs by people who are not from a given country is OK - like having a .it or .me or a .tv domain as an American or a Brit etc. However the specific case of .io is, to put it politely, rather complicated.
Sure. Tuvalu made good income from .tv, There's a vibrant market in ideas out there. It's just a bit odd that it existed as a grandfathered in thing, And then the grandfathering remained after the raison d'etre ended.
Haha I love how most of the internet just agrees that tokelau is like the outcast TLD of the internet. I've seen filters alert just from accessing a .tk because of them being free and maybe still are. I think it used to be Dot.tk giving them away

Most .io domains are not from the British Indian Ocean territory. Yet, many people like to use that TLD. And it's OK.
