.io domain is for British Indian Ocean Territory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Indian_Ocean_Territory

> The only inhabitants are US and British military personnel and associated contractors So wait, all .io domains map to a US/UK military base in the Indian Ocean? How does that affect privacy...?

It doesn't "map" anywhere. It's just a domain name. DNS happens like it happens for any other domain.

This sounds like some erotic sci-fi come true. "In a world swept by a pandemic leaving billions unstimulated, teledildonics kept us together."

Here in Berlin, the unavoidably well-advertised dildo company seems to have started a poster campaign just for the pandemic. Roughly translated, the posters read “Keep Calm and Use Dildos”.

I am not sure if I get banned for posting this, but is this the company you are talking about: https://dildoking.de/ ?

No doubt the tech is cool, but this is actually somewhat disturbing to me. I see it as an expressway for the continued objectification of women, and an easy way for false nudes to begin spreading around. Even if they aren't real, they still violate the most intimate form of privacy. Maybe this is just me.

Ironically I think you are the one objectifying women by implying those devices are only for pleasuring women.

The standard meaning of "objectification" is not "inserting objects into".

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