Yeah that’s true. We just need to research who owns the TLD before long-term site and everything is ok.
Better to just setup your own ccTLD, for maximum trust.

They even use youtu.be as their URL shortener
I’m sure Google didn’t buy those for the purpose of actually using them, but rather to prevent someone else from registering and using them.

It’s Google, probably just bought them on the off chance that they would ever do anything with them.
They are a company where the left hand doesn’t talk to the right hand very often anyway.
Two businesses can trademark the same name if they are operating in different industries. Or, the name could have spaces or punctuation that renders the same as a TLD.
Go Ogle Photographic & Paparazzi Inc. could have a reasonable claim to the same
.google
TLD. The registration fee is chump change for Google/Alphabet to make sure this can’t happen.deleted by creator
.io is the British Indian ocean’s territory, probably not really a risk i doubt anything’s going to happen there.
Many people don’t know it’s not a generic TLD.
There was some drama about the TLD a while back by people who disagree with the British occupation of the territories, and with the state of the world right now, I don’t think it’s entirely unimaginable that the TLD will be redelegated. We’ve seen the death and redelegation of .tk and other Freenom domains already, which was partially because of a lawsuit, but also because the locals wanted control of their TLD back (because none of the TLD money was flowing into the local economy).
I think the TLD isn’t at great risk at the moment, but if you’re going to build your business, you may want to pick a generic TLD just in case.
