@i_have_no_enemies Almost every Internet activity start with a #DNS request. So, DNS is often (ab)used for political goals.
Also, domain names are organized in a tree so if you control a domain (in that case .af), you also control all names underneath.
There are social networks that don’t rely on the DNS but they have other issues. In the mean time, take DNS seriously and choose your domain name with care.
