AFAIK that’s just standard link terminology. Any . followed by two characters is automatically interpreted as a link. It’s been that way on Twitter for quite a while, and I remember at least one conservative politician falling afoul of that at some point in the past, though I’d have to search a bit to find it.

It’s not any two letters, but there are hundreds of TLDs. Many of the two letter ones are delegated to nations. .it is the TLD for Italy.
But how to pronounce “sh.it”?!
(Weird, don’t know why it automatically became a link.)
