Sending someone to a site with obscure TLDs of .io or .lv doesn't help in these situations. This is a perfect opportunity for someone to set up a drive by site to drop malware on someone's computer.

Yes, because obviously .com registrations are limited to good people only. *eyeroll*

Guess you didn't read my last sentence, I know the .coms and .orgs, and
such don't all belong to the good folks.

*sigh*.

Then why single out the .io and .lv's? Maybe you missed the trend (by now a few years old) to get domains in those and similar ccTLD's for startups? Why even try to portray them as less trusted, as you plainly did in the quoted paragraph?
