Godaddy Blunders Force Withdrawl Of Support For SOPA But Byedaddy.orgWon't Help Bob Parsons Much

Bob's newest worst enemy!

Twitter is ablaze at the moment with posts on just how much of a bad move Godaddy made last week, and just how much it's affecting their business.

CEO Bob Parsons made the cock up last week announcing that Godaddy supports the controversial SOPA bill and that he and his company gives the act their full backing, but the problem here is that 1, Bob hasn't got a clue about the internet, and 2, Bob hasn't got a fucking clue about the internet. Ironic how he is in control of one of the biggest online companies there is!

Following the lack of support and a danger of losing alot more business than they already have Godaddy released a statement on the 23rd of this month saying all of a sudden that they had done a uturn and no longer support SOPA, you can read the statement here: http://www.godaddy.com/newscenter/release-view.aspx?news_item_id=378

In the last few days a new site called byedaddy.org cropped up, allowing users to check to see if a site uses a Godaddy registered domain, according to some of the results that this new site has kicked out major sites like wikipedia.org and wordpress.org are registered with them, although Wikipedia has said that it is planning to remove many of it's domains from Godaddy:

With this recent outcry amongst big names and big sites will the numpties within the US Government do the right thing and abandon this outrageous bill?

Reddit and Twitter are just the beginning, and without a doubt many more will follow in opposing this bill, afterall only a fool would approve it, ain't that right Bob?

SOPA Straightup Sucks!

As many carry on oblivious to the upcoming proposals the government of the United States of the World are trying to put in place it will soon become an uproar of more people around the world once sites like Youtube and Facebook become policed by a strict American official department.

Many users on Facebook barely care or realise what's trying to be pushed through in the states, SOPA though will most definitely affect a huge amount of the 800,000 Facebook fans when it comes to uploading "copyrighted" content etc etc.

Some understand what this bill would do and are standing up against it, but although this fight may yet go on for a considerable amount of time, it's a bleak outlook when you find organizations like Godaddy.com backing this outrageous idea!

Godaddy is the largest domain registrar on the internet, and have today come out and said that this bill called the SOPA act will be a good thing for the internet and in no way will it affect the internet flourishing in the future.

When you see companies like Godaddy saying that it's a worrying thought that no matter how many of us stand up against it, the fight could easily be lost if a few of these big American companies jump on the bandwagon.

A new site cropped up today appealing to Godaddy customers and webmasters to boycott the famous domain provider by the 29th of this month to show them just how many people are pissed off that they have backed SOPA, godaddyboycott.org sends a simple message saying that we are not happy and we will move elsewhere if you continue to support this cancer. The hope is that Godaddy takes note and removes it's support.

In my view and as many others have expressed, the internet is a free place for free people, police it and we could all be faced with an intranet much like North Korea, where the only information you can find is the stuff that only the US government wants you to see! Imagine that!
