But ambiguity is the worst thing for a top-level domain. Unknowingly, this decision created an environment in which .su became a digital wild west. Today, it is a barely policed top-level domain, a plausibly deniable home for Russian dark ops and a place where supremacist content and cyber-crime have found cover.

So much drama.

"Supremacist content", "dark ops", "cyber-crime".

"The free world" has recently equated itself to Hitler at least two more times, and somebody's worried that there are places with less censorship.

Also my anecdotal experience with .su domains is better than with .ru domains.

Come to think of it, I only know two .su domains and they're pretty great...
