GoDaddy silences domain !

[Theo]

SOPA might be dead but GοDaddy cuts off the air of startup company, regardless.

Surprise , Surprise.

This is ridiculous and a scary development at the same time.

Another fine example of GoDaddy willingly taking the money for the reg, and then getting on their soapbox to proclaim good policy.

Maybe we dont need ICAAN. We just need GoDaddy.

someone should make a website of everything that has been shutdown without due process, would be an interesting read.

In this particular case I doubt Godaddy really made any judgement calls - they simply complied with a law enforcement request.

If it is phishing issue (I suspect it is) there is no due process really.
In such a situation the first step is to shut down the site and domain in order to avoid more scam victims.
Yes, it sucks for the owners and the users.

On a side note I'm shocked that so many people depend on that kind of third party services, especially for supposedly critical websites/businesses. Coding isn't that hard and if you lack the technical skills you can outsource the job on sites like scriptlance (cheap).
Looks like Jotform is even available as a free service. Do you really expect a level of service or guarantees from a free service ?
For sure there is a lesson to be learned here.

Now beat me
