Hello, GoDaddy employee.

GoDaddy needs to learn their lesson for the mistakes they did in the past and for SOPA.

I wish I could have downvoted you.



I'm in no way affiliated or connected to GoDaddy. I don't have any domains registered with them. I dislike internet hate mobs, which as you say are designed to "teach them a lesson".


What they're getting is well deserved.

If I go out and do bad things, I go to jail, people will hate me / dislike me and wish that I stay in jail for a long time because I'm a criminal.

Why should people & companies who threaten important civil rights and liberties be treated differently? It's not OK to do crimes which affect 1-100 persons, but it's OK to affect the basic civil liberties & free speech of hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions?

Any entity, a company or a number of individuals, which does something like this should suffer consequences. If it's a company, then it should really go away.

A company is responsible for its image. People don't owe them anything, so that the said company deserves the money of their clients. They must have a good image and keep their customers happy. Either they do that, or they should go out of business.

All in all, keeping customers happy means you must also uphold some moral values and protect civil liberties.


There's a thing called due process. There's law.


Due process? You mean like paying 50 millions to the congress to get a law to pass? Yeah, we can see how good this is.

Law? You mean like the 1st amendment of the US constitution? Yeah, we can see how easy new laws can override the previous laws.

Actually, the law has a funny way of working. It seems it works for you when you're rich and against you when you're not a millionaire.

Keep talking about the law & due process.

I choose to tell everyone I possibly can about these companies and not use their services & not buy their products.


And it's legal to boycott someone!!!
