"Obama Truth Team" Orders GoDaddy To Shut Down Website

A political website that contained stinging criticism of the Obama administration and its handling of the Fast and Furious scandal was ordered to be shut down by the Obama campaign’s ‘Truth Team’, according to private investigator Douglas Hagmann, who was told by ISP GoDaddy his site contained information that was “maliciously harmful to individuals in the government.”

Hagmann, CEO of Hagmann Investigative Services, Inc., a private investigative agency serving a roster of Fortune 500 clients, was given 48 hours by GoDaddy to find a new home for his website before it was deleted.

Hagmann was told the reason for the shut down was because the website featured “morally objectionable” material. After GoDaddy refused to identify the complainant, only saying that it was not “any official government agency,” further investigation by Hagmann revealed that the order came from a group tied to Obama campaign headquarters

Maybe Homelandsecurityus would be kind enough to release GoDaddy from its privacy obligations so that GoDaddy's complete side to the story can be released.

I'm not mixed up. It's all about GoDaddy as far as I can tell. If they didn't want to shut it down, they would simply tell the "truth squad" to get a court order¹. That's what I would do.

¹ Edit: Assuming that some truth squad actually brought something to the attention of GoDaddy.

Looking at the article:

We dont speak to specifics due to customer privacy concerns. We can tell you our terms of service prohibit content or activities designed to defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, slander or harass third-parties. We also dont allow content to encourage unlawful activities by others, such as hate crimes, terrorism and child pornography. Our terms also prohibit activities that are tortious, vulgar, obscene, invasion of the privacy of a third-party, racially or ethically.

Staying out of politics, Fast and Furious is embarrassing for the government, so therefore any site devoted to covering the scandal would violate GoDaddy's ToS? Would it be acceptable to cover Watergate? Abu Ghraib? What's the threshold? It's 'embarrassing' to have your mistakes outed to the world, but the risk you take as a public figure.

It appears the threshold is that Nixon is dead and Bush is out of office, but the current President is still in his term (and running for a second?). GoDaddy may as well say they won't host sites critical of the government or designed to embarrass sitting Presidents.

It looks like GoDaddy is filtering content here. They may as well say they don't like free exercise of the First Amendment on their site, which is their prerogative as a private company.

Note: I haven't visited the site so I am going off the story you posted and the story in the OP.

As Perry Mason might say, you are assuming facts not in evidence. I gave the site in question the once over, and there is a variety of material on a variety of issues as well as video. So, who's to say that the issue is Fast and Furious? I didn't watch any video, but maybe there is something there on some of the videos?

Having also glanced over the website, which looks like your typical angry libertarian conspiracy theory parking place, I would guess that the graphic abortion pictures (which I hadn't viewed firsthand) may have precipitated the takedown notice.

The unfortunate part is that GoDaddy has already been an internet pincushion and rightly accused of being in bed with Washington through the whole SOPA scandal, so the charge is convenient and easily sticks.

It would have helped if GoDaddy had emphasized the objectionable material and downplayed the First Amendment concerns.

Al Qaeda terrorist training camps in Georgia? Jihad crazed Muslims preparing to shoot up your local shopping mall? Why the government is hiding the obvious al Qaeda connections of the guy who robbed three gas stations in Oklahoma? All this and more is available from the often comical Northeast Intelligence Network created by Douglas J. Hagmann - or someone using that name. In this report we will listen to Hagmann as he broadcasts a terror alert that he knows is false, and get a brief glimpse of who the U.S. intelligence community believes were the real planners behind 9/11. You can have three guesses but none of them should be foreign.

Yeah, I know Canucks are crazy like that. I posted some thoughts after I got a chance to look over the site from a safer connection. I apologize if this is over-generalizing or offends you:

I was surprised. You usually don't jump so quickly off the deep end.

This Haggman guy seems to make a pretty good living being a nut. Nice self-promotion on his part with the GoDaddy "truth squad" crap. There are plenty of idiots who'll believe it.

He's a birther by the way, although there's not as much money in that as there used to be.

While I stick this in the BS category myself, more or less. Don't forget that this is the same current running government that went out of it's way to break due process and seize domains and literately shut down hundreds of websites with no legal recourse. Not to mention broke damn near every seizure law on the books that NZ and about half of the ones that you guys have in the US with regards to Megaupload.

I think that Haggman guy might be distant relations to that J.R. fellow from Dallas. They all secretly wanted to get into politics at a young age and could be seen hanging out in their backyard listening to the grass grow, planning how they were going to make their first million so the rest of idiots could live in security off the guberment "chicken in every pot" programs through more taxes.
