Ask HN: Do domains ever get pulled for not representing the country of the TLD?

2 points by iDemonix ↗ HN
For example, I'm in the UK and want to register a business, the name ends in ps, so I'd like to use a .ps domain as the .com is taken, and it'll only be used for email anyway. If you look at http://devo.ps/ that's an example of a non-palestine company using it for branding.

If you read the ToS for .ps domains it states that domains should be used by local businesses, and international companies wanting to have a presence in Palestine.

What's the likelihood of a domain being taken back?

I think it depends on the ccTLD. I've never heard of that happening, but I'm sure it could.
