Submission + - Network Solution Censorship? (xpda.com)
edibobb writes: "CNN reports that Network Solutions has cancelled a controversial web site where Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders was promoting his anti-Koran film. Last last month Pakistan made an attempt to ban YouTube because of a video about the film.
I had believed Network Solutions, unlike some registrars, was above the arbitrary cancellation of domains. But it appears that their TOS allows this under the clause prohibiting "objectionable material of any kind or nature."
Is there a safe registrar, who will not cancel your domain any time it is deemed "objectionable" or, more likely, embarrassing?"

Submission + - Clinton Campaign Site TOS (xpda.com)
edibobb writes: "The Obama and Hillary Clinton sites both have "Terms of Service," which seems
pretty odd for political campaign sites.
Obama's TOS seems pretty
straightforward, but
Clinton's looks like it was written by Washington bureaucrat from Homeland
Security.
I don't even have to register in order to be bound by the 4-page agreement, according to Clinton's TOS, and in case that doesn't cover it, "In addition, you shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such Service, which may be posted from time to time."
To top it off, "You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, exploit, or otherwise use any Content, in full or part, or any use or access to the Service, without the express written consent of the Committee."
So much for Fair Use. You would think they would encourage people to copy their material, not threaten them over it."
