See, now this is actually censorship. But in America, people will be lining up outside this guys door to offer free hosting as a result. On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 7:52 AM, Richard M. Smith <rms () computerbytesman com> wrote:
Amazing. Network Solutions censors a Web site about a movie that they and almost no one has viewed yet. http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9901496-7.html?tag=nefd.top Network Solutions shutters anti-Islam film site Network Solutions has suspended a Web site that a Dutch lawmaker was using to promote a yet-to-be-released film critical of Islam. The Web hosting service said it is investigating whether content on the site (http://www.fitnathemovie.com/) is in violation of the hosting service's acceptable use policy. The 15-minute movie, called Fitna--an Arabic word that means "test of faith in times of trial"--describes Islam as "the enemy of freedom," according to comments made by Geert Wilders, a Dutch lawmaker and the film's maker. Dutch officials fear the movie could spark violence, as happened after Danish newspapers published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The movie is set for release at month's end. Wilders had been using the site to promote the movie, but the site was pulled after the Web-hosting company said it received a "number of complaints" regarding the site.
