Mind the Domain
You know what’s wild? When a UK-based organisation — working in the public interest, no less — decides to operate entirely off a .com domain, and doesn’t bother picking up the .co.uk version. For less than a fiver. In 2025.
I checked. It was wide open. So… I bought it. Legally. Transparently. Ethically. And instead of leaving it parked or unused, I redirected it — straight to a free, factual guide on autism discrimination in care and support services.
Because if you’re going to leave the front door off the hinges, don’t be surprised when someone puts up a sign that says, “Here’s what they’re not telling you.”
This Isn’t Petty — It’s Public Interest
I’m not impersonating anyone. I’m not using their branding. I’m not making defamatory statements. I’m simply using a very obvious, very available UK domain to direct people to information that actually empowers them.
The original organisation? Proud of its “IT background.” Really? Bragging about tech literacy while leaving a core UK domain unclaimed, unforwarded, and unsecured? No redirect. No defensive purchase. Nada. Nothing.
That’s not oversight. That’s ego meeting negligence at a DNS level.
Why I Did It
Because autistic people deserve support, not silence.
Because organisations should be held to account with evidence, not whispers.
And because if someone’s going to run a publicly funded outfit that claims to support vulnerable people — they should probably secure the domains that represent them, or at least not leave them open for someone like me to turn into a digital protest.
What the Redirect Does
It takes you to a straightforward guide. One that explains the legal rights of autistic people. No smears. No slogans. Just education and empowerment.
If that makes someone uncomfortable, maybe they should be asking why.
I didn’t hijack anything. I just saw an unlocked door — and I posted the Equality Act on the wall inside.
