Website Owners Beware of Government Censorship

RawStory.com by Stephen C. Webster (excerpts): An online startup called JotForm said this week that it was kicked off its .com internet domain by host GoDaddy, allegedly at the request of the US Secret Service. It's not yet clear why JotForm, which allows users to create and embed interactive online documents, was taken down. The site's owner claims he was not given advance notice and that authorities have not even told him why his business is effectively shuttered. The site's founder told Hacker News that he contacted the Secret Service agent in charge of his case, only to be told that she was too busy to address his concerns right away and that it might not happen for a few days. "I believe this can happen to anybody who allows users to create content on the web," the site's founder concluded. "If you have such business, my recommendation would be to make sure that you can contact your most active users quickly if your domain is disabled. Many of our users are shocked and angry at us." * At press time, neither GoDaddy nor the Secret Service responded to Raw Story's request for comment.
Update: JotForm back online; Secret Service confirms involvement:
After a slew of media coverage on Thursday, domain registrar GoDaddy restored JotForm's .com domain without giving the owner notice. Although they did not return a call to Raw Story, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary told Ars Technica that they were indeed involved in the take-down.
Commentary: More Socialist government behavior here in the US. Obama has control over the internet, without the need for congressional approval, and anything goes now. Those of you whose livelihood strictly depends on your internet functionality, I suggest you have strong backup resources, or another vocation to fall back on. America, get used to this. Things are quickly winding down to the return of the Lord and, according to the Bible, there will come a day when you can't even function or earn a living unless you have a mark on your right hand or forehead - issued by the dictator at that time (Antichrist). You have to know that when Russia's Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, warns the US and Obama on the evils of Socialism, we have a great big problem here! Putin said at the Davos Forum in Switzerland, "The US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise excessive intervention in economy and blind faith in the omnipotence of government." Why is it that Putin sees where we are headed, but ~80% of American citizens have their heads in the sand like a long-necked ostrich?! Several prophetic scriptures come to mind: "Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you might see" Isaiah 42:18. "Bring forth the blind people that have eyes and the deaf who have ears" Isaiah 43:8. Finally and sadly, "His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark, sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber" Isaiah 56:10. You can't blame me for that one, it came right out of the prophet Isaiah's mouth - the mouth of God's spokesman. Whether you want to believe it or not, people around the world hear our news before we hear it ourselves, because our media is so propagandized and censored. I have said it before, if you want to hear the REAL news, go to a European news website; you won't hear many of the pertinent facts in the US.
