GoDaddy Silences RateMyCop.com 561
mikesd81 writes "Wired is running a story about GoDaddy shutting down a police watchdog site called RateMyCop. However, GoDaddy can't seem to give a consistent answer as for why. From the article: 'RateMyCop founder Gino Sesto says he was given no notice of the suspension. When he called GoDaddy, the company told him that he'd been shut down for suspicious activity. When Sesto got a supervisor on the phone, the company changed its story and claimed the site had surpassed its 3 terabyte bandwidth limit, a claim that Sesto says is nonsense. "How can it be overloaded when it only had 80,000 page views today, and 400,000 yesterday?" Sesto says police can post comments as well, and a future version of the site will allow them to authenticate themselves to post rebuttals more prominently. Chief Dyer wants to get legislation passed that would make RateMyCop.com illegal, which, of course, wouldn't pass constitutional muster in any court in America.'"

I am hopeful that mankind can avoid ending up like in 1984
Me too. Legwarmers, rolled-up sleeves, fingerless gloves, bodywarmers, shell suits... I truly hope mankind can avoid those kinds of atrocities in future.

I was there; that martian bastard ate my neighbor.
Of course, I also have some photos of you molesting little boys (Dubya had them in his car), so I wouldn't stir up trouble if I were you.
