Slashdot is reporting that GoDaddy, the web registrar known for racy Superbowl commercials, has shut down a Palestinian children’s web site for what a private group calling itself the “Northeast Intelligence Network” described as a cartoon promoting attacks on Israel.

Although I’m not able to evaluate the webpage in question, I’m skeptical of the ability of web registrars to shut down sites acting as judge, jury, and warden. A site identified as illegal by the U.S. Government would and should certainly be blocked by GoDaddy.

The story was reported at the Phoenix New Times here.

   I would like to show my thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of such a setting. After surfing around throughout the world-wide-web and getting solutions which are not beneficial, I figured my life was done. Existing devoid of the answers to the issues you’ve resolved by way of the website is a critical case, and ones which may have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t come across your blog. The talents and kindness in playing with all things was precious. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t come upon such a subject like this. I can at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the professional and amazing help. I will not think twice to recommend the blog to anyone who needs to have guidance about this topic.

   Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
