LifeSite, a Christian pro-life news outlet, was allegedly blacklisted by its web host and given just 12 hours to find another host the website, or risk being offline.
“LifeSite just received an email at 8:30 p.m. EST from our web-hosting company alerting us that they will be taking our website down within 12 hours, if not sooner,” claimed LifeSite in a statement, Saturday. “We received absolutely no forewarning whatsoever about this decision.”
“Our web developer is scrambling right now to set up a possibly-needed temporary solution to keep the website live. However, we’re going to have to go through the ordeal and expense of moving server companies,” the news outlet continued. “We also intend to fight these attacks, which will carry significant legal costs.”

No mention of who the web host is.
ReplyDeleteAnother right wing Christian website was kicked off by its host, Joyent, which is in (wait for it) San Francisco.
Who's internet is it?
ReplyDeleteThe STUNNING hypocritical irony.
ReplyDeleteSo a baker of cakes (i.e. a private business owner) can't be compelled to sell a cake that violates his conscience, nor be forced to engage in forced speech that he/she disagrees with... and you support that.
Now, tell me about the private business owner who hosts web sites and what he/she should be allowed choose who they do business with, and what message they want to promote?
Hysterically, there is no reason cited as to why this site is having these issues, conveniently left out.
ALSO conveniently left out is why GAB lost it's host. While it is a completely uncensored site, it has become home to white nationalists and nazis, and spouts all kinds of unsavory propaganda.
So PLEASE to tell me why a business owner can refuse to bake a cake for two homosexuals are in love with each other, but that a web host, another business owner, should be forced to post up a site that demonizes and calls for violence and harm to the same homosexuals?
You don't get to argue one way, and then change to the other just because you don't agree with the message.
For consistency, if the cake baker is not persecuting the homosexuals ipso facto these "blacklisted" or removed sites are not being persecuted either.
They can always find another host, just as the gay couple can find another cake maker.
How about, for a change, we try a little consistency?
