That's a long list.
All of those domain name extensions are controlled by a single corporation in the United States: Identity Digital Inc., based in Washington State and owned by Ethos Capital, which is located in Massachusetts.
Identity Digital accounts for roughly 30% of all word-based domain name extensions. But they’re not alone — many other word-based extensions are also managed or sponsored by U.S. corporations, which places them under U.S. jurisdiction.
Digital sovereignty is important. That’s why I recommend avoiding word-based domain extensions, as well as .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, and .edu, all of which are governed under U.S. jurisdiction.
