GoDaddy act big, actually just being bullied

GoDaddy recently pulled another site for publishing content they disagree with. SecLists.org got a message saying they had “been suspended for violation of the GoDaddy.com Abuse Policy”

Basically, it’s a security site who published some details on one of the MySpace security problems. MySpace weren’t happy about it and had a moan to GoDaddy who, as they now have a reputation for, pulled the domain. At least it’s not the nameservers for a datacenter this time.

I’m sorry but GoDaddy really is a joke. Their terms of use include, and I quote, the forbidding of “morally objectionable activities.” I find it amusing that a country that claims to cling so much to the idea of freedom of speech often so easily abandons it, especially when it contradicts the morals of a Christian nation which is supposed to be prevented from having a state religion by it’s constitution.

    I totally agree with what you are saying here and hadn’t realised this kind of things was happening. I will be advising all I know who buy domains not to use them and people who are already with them to transfer away.

    You’re just an idiot man, of course I will state that America’s Judicial system is one of the biggest jokes on the face of the planet. Of course comparing to the U.K. I’d say second biggest joke on the planet.

    America was founded on morality, its’ no where near what it should be but that has little to nothing to do with christianity. The only reason they use Christianity as a point of moral comparison is because no one else seems to have any.

    I was using godaddy when they started and have been with them since, own well over 1600 domains and the only thing you’ve encouraged me to do is make sure all other bulk domain purchases for me, my company and customers are purchased through them.

    Good Day!
