Go Daddy Loses Over 21,000 Domains In One Day

First time accepted submitter expo53d writes "CNET reports that yesterday 21,054 domains were pulled off Domaincontrol.com, a subsidiary of GoDaddy. While this maybe a coincidence, it is likely to be caused by GoDaddy's controversial support for SOPA. It seems that GoDaddy's attempts at remedying the problem were of no use."

Re:so uh why they'd support it?

But the fundamental problem is that the government has the power to do this sort of thing.

Or, it's a fundamental problem that Wall Street has the opportunity (Citizens United) to do this sort of thing.

When you have a government where every single elected official nationwide can be changed via election every 6 years, saying "the government is too powerful" is ridiculous. It's a government by the people, and the people cannot be too strong.

And if it doesn't seem like a government by the people to you, then it's because you disagree with most of the people. We have a fucked up situation because the media (private corporations all) has misinformed most people, who vote against their best interests, and because the big money (private corporations) are bribing the elected officials through campaign finance.

Either make all campaigns publicly financed or limit campaign spending to $25k for local races and $50k for national races. Then make the media start doing their job.

The US has so much more corruption in government than Northern European countries or countries like Germany because those other countries put stringent limits on campaign finance. Also, they seem to have found the right mix of regulated capitalism and socialism.
