The io domain is actually for a British Indian Ocean Territory. I know a startup I worked at had issues being allowed to use an io tld previously, are there any concerns with the tld given the provacative nature of teledildonics? Edit: Correction of British Territory to British Indian Ocean Territory

Yup, it's a risk on multiple levels, that I of course found out about after building the project and marketing it. I've got some backup domains, but I'm gonna lose a lot of link juice if/when this goes.

Yes. I wasn’t going to look to it for much the same reason.

Hi! Buttplug Project Lead here! AMA!

There have been numerous stories in the past of IoT sex toys basically being thrown together by people with no tech knowledge and leaving the passwords as defaults, etc. Makes hacking/stealing the data trivial and obviously problematic for the product and users.

What does project do to ensure security?
