I wish people at least pretended to care about Catalan language and culture when they bought a .cat domain.
~~.cat is owned by an American company named Doughnuts. I like how Catalonia is using it but it's not a two letter country TLD~~
It was sponsored by a foundation for this very specific purpose, and when you get a domain you agree to use it for content in Catalan or about Catalan culture and language but a lot of people just don't comply. It's not a 2-letter TLD because Spain won't let Catalonia have a country code.

Well I'm fucking wrong. Sorry.
No worries, I was a bit whaaaaat with the doughnuts thing because I had never heard about that.
~~They control (apparently hundreds of other domains like .business or .cookie or .fruit and and words like that. (Not necessarily real examples)~~
That is also false what the fuck was I smoking?
