Can confirm what the other commenter said, completely impossible to have an effect. .com and .gov and .fr and .nz are what’s called TLDs or Top Level Domains. Everything is delegated down from that level for any subdomains. .fr and .nz are country owned and any attempt to take control of that would be returned to their respective governments by ICANN.
Why would it? The article merely mentions that he’s posting his nonsense on existing .gov domains, which is something he can totally do as the President.
Hope this doesnt affect other .gov domains, like .gov.fr, .gov.nz or .gov.br
It won’t
This is about the .gov TLD, you’re talking about the .br and .nz TLDs. Domains go in importance from right to left.
However, icann is still US based, he might try and take control of that and truly break the Internet in pieces
it does not.
.gov.fr. is a subdomain of .fr., unrelated to .gov…
It’s also unused, as far as I know.
