From Brian Kreebs at the WAPO blog:
Muslim violence? Religion of Peace violence? Hmmm
Network Solutions spokeswoman Susan Wade said the company has received numerous complaints about the Web site over the past three weeks, though she declined to discuss the exact number or nature of those complaints. She said the company was still investigating whether the site violated its acceptable use policy. In the meantime, she said, a decision was made to deactive the site given the potential violence that the movie could spark. She said Wilders could still access the site himself and was free to move or redirect its content to another domain.
It sounds like Network Solutions is not only refusing to host, but refusing to allow Wilders’ to use the registered domain name.
Fred von Lohmann, a senior staff attoney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said it was the first case he’d heard of in which a U.S.-based registrar had preemptively suspended a domain name for violating its use policy. Still, he said, most registrars’ acceptable-use policies reserve for them right to cut off service to almost any customer for nearly any reason.
Update: Wade’s comment to the NY Crimes is quite different – can you say dhimmi
Update: It appears Network Solutions may have woken up and suspended the domain names for Hizbollah – cached versions available on that big search engine but “Server Not Found” error on the Hizbollah links. Did Network Solutions just realize Hizballah is listed by the U.S. Department of State as a Foreign Terrorist Organization?
If in fact they did, and the record was updated today, it only took them ten years:
Domain ID:D849804-LROR Domain Name:HIZBOLLAH.ORG Created On:06-Feb-1998 05:00:00 UTC Last Updated On:24-Mar-2008 17:45:24 UTC Expiration Date:05-Feb-2009 05:00:00 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:Network Solutions LLC
