Wikileaks Calls For Global Boycott Against eNom

souls writes "The folks at Wikileaks are calling for a boycott against eNom, Inc., one of the top internet domain registrars, which WikiLeaks claims is involved in systematic domain censoring. On Feb 28th eNom shut down wikileaks.info, one of the many Wikileaks mirrors held by a volunteer as a side-effect of the court proceedings around wikileaks.org. In addition, eNom was the registrar that shut off access to a Spanish travel agent who showed up on a US Treasury watch list. Wikileaks calls for a 'global boycott of eNom and its parent Demand Media, its owners, executives and their affiliated companies, interests and holdings, to make clear such behavior can and will not be tolerated within the boundaries of the Internet and its global community.'"

    With Godaddy supplying Robert Soloway (rokso spammer) with gb of disk space they too are not trustworthy. If you look at Enom then it appears as if all spammers use them in some form.

    One thing is sure Enom voted republican, perhaps they also contribute to the republican party as well?, on that basis all foreigners (all non us citizens) should avoid enom.

    The US is a nation of laws, not a nation driven by the whims of precocious fan-boys

  3. WikiLeaks, you are idiots by BitZtream · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So ... you're boycotting a company which is following the laws of the country it is based in rather than registering your name with a registrar in a country that doesn't have these laws.

    Are they really that stupid?

    WikiLeaks, thank you for making it obvious you're not a trustworthy source of information, by showing you would rather hold a grudge and use your influnce to damage someone else rather than fixing the problem yourself (a problem in which you created yourself and is due entirely to your ignorance). You can not even be trusted to provide rumors without the worry of bias and censoring of them yourself, very sad.

    I don't like eNom either, of course, I'm also smart enough to USE A DIFFERENT REGISTRAR. Its not like they are the only players on the field.
