Internet users in the country complained that they couldn’t access the site for several hours, thinking the issue was linked to a server crash. Google and Argentinian authorities have not yet commented on the issue.

Argentina lost its domain on Google after a random person bought it, MercoPress reported, citing data from the Network Information Centre Argentina (NIC Argentina), and the office responsible for operating the country’s .ar domain.

The news broke after Nicolas Kuroña posted a statement on Twitter, saying he saw that the domain was available and "legally" bought it.

According to MercoPress, it cost Kuroña 540 pesos, or $5.80, to buy the domain. Reports say Argentinian authorities are likely to have forgotten to renew the ownership. The Open Data Córdoba group, which tracks expired Argentinian domains, said this was not the issue, although the agency failed to explain how Kuroña could have accessed the domain. His success was short-lived, however, as the authorities soon recovered it.

What neither the Post nor ABC mentioned, was that the poll oversampled Democrats by nine points. Some 33% of respondents identified as Democrats, 24% as Republicans, and 35% as independents. The remainder were either unsure or identified with minor parties. Previous research has found that political independents generally favor Democrats by four points, so with all of this taken into account, Biden’s true approval rating could be several points lower.

The US National Basketball Association (NBA) is expected to participate in the maiden China International Consumer Products Expo, the expo organizers said on Saturday, since the "Morey incident" on Hong Kong-related issues has cooled the relationship between the NBA and one of its biggest markets, China. The collaboration is anticipated to pave the way for further restoration of the relationship between the UD league and China, observers noted.

The expo will run from May 7 to 10 in Haikou, South China's Hainan Province. The NBA earlier participated in the third China International Import Expo in November 2020 in Shanghai.

The NBA's relationship with China, cooled rapidly after "the Morey incident" when then-General Manager of the Houston Rockets Daryl Morey tweeted support for violent rioters in Hong Kong in 2019. Live NBA games were pulled from Chinese state television CCTV, and many fans even began boycotting the league. However, recent signs point to an expected easing of relations.
