The end of .io purchases as we know it?

Good luck to them with that one. If everyone that lost their claims to their own homeland then they can get in the queue like everyone else...

Anyone going to stop investing in .COM/.net until the USA give the land back to those that were removed during Indian Removal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Removal_Act (and the rest of the ills of the USA)?

It's all just money grabbing - lawyers and other people on a wage for doing nothing or companies that want to get the optics right (they rarely do) or to "get a piece of the action" which means to use the opportunity to get a load of money for doing nothing.

And as I've said before, when it comes to the registry the UK Government have confirmed that they have never received any payments for .io registrations. Not only that the exiled Chagossians have the right to British Passports so don't feel too sorry for them.
