Network Solutions - de facto pre-publication censor in Security

Network Solutions - de facto pre-publication censor in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20219729 en Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:36:07 EDT Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:36:07 EDT Re: Network Solutions - de facto pre-publication censor http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20220314 EGeezer : I've dealt with Network systems before and they are difficult and time consuming. As a result, I don't recommend them to my customers who are looking for Domain name services or hosting.

I suspect that Network Solutions "predicted" that the content was going to be objectionable, so took the blank site offline despite the fact that there was no content on it. If the customer had posted some hate-spewing crap, NS should have whacked it immediately and turned the evidence over to the authorities in their jurisdiction for investigation and followup as appropriate. However, nothing had been posted.

I have no use for religious hate and/or bigotry links and content, or for the people who promote or advocate such views. Such crap has no place, and those who promote such drivel in web sites, posts, sig lines etc. only show themselves for the ignorant bigots that they are.

I also don't feel comfortable with hosters, DNS providers or ISPs deciding to cut customers off because they think the customer "might" violate TOS in the future. That will only open the door to pre-emptively blocking legitimate discussion, dissenters, whistleblowers and those who might be opposed to the vendor's political views or legislative proposals.

Everyone shrugs their shoulders and says I will move my business, I will block it, I have nothing to hide. Brick by brick a wall is being built to corral everyone into the place where they can best be controlled, and profit can be maximized. Orwell was wrong, we have more to fear from becoming completely controlled by big business.

AFAIK network solutions is blocking the website hosted on one of their servers - they are not blocking the DNS itself.

if they were blocking the sites dns due to the controversy, then I would be worried.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20219807 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:58:33 EDT Network Solutions - de facto pre-publication censor http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20219729 EGeezer : If you control the internet, you control the flow of information. Network Solutions had decided what you should or should not see, even before it's posted.

A U.S.-based Internet company has pre-emptively suspended access to a Web site on which a controversial Dutch lawmaker was planning to post a short film examining links between Islamic terrorism and the Koran.
