If I had a store and chose not to sell alcohol or porno mags, I would be censoring it but, odng nothign illegal, nothign worng, just running my buskness as I see fit. Once again, like it or not, it is they business and they can run it as they please as long as it is legal. They don't seem to have don't anything illegal. I understand your point of view, though. Did those of you who had domains removed ever appeal the decision?
Ok, but censorship isn't illegal. I mean, folks censor what their kids see on television all the time. Companies censor the websites their employees visit. I don't think anybody is saying these folks don't have a right to censor.
If a company doesn't want to be associated with certain types of sites, fine. But if it has been, it needs to disassociate itself in an honest and responsible way, being respectful of those who don't hold its views, especially if they've been its loyal customers. Business owners don't get to determine what's morally right for anybody except themselves.
