I’m surprised tech people would be so careless with their stated reasons. It’s very easy to look almost any of this kind of thing up to see they’re lying.
Tech people just do the programming jobs, add features, fix bugs, create applications. We are creators of things, it's not up to us what and how it is used. It's our duty to make applications versatile, not to impose our personal preferences. We create default values for options, something like recommended settings, but the point is to be able to change them without changing the code itself. So we add whitelists and blacklists, and add options for banning in various ways like "trends", without being aware of the implications.
Hell, I could create a system to automatically moderate comments with a learning AI, necessitating some moderation at the beginning as input and then working on its own. It could be used to filter out actual nasty comments or to create a powerful language control tool for propagandistic purposes.
You can use guns to shoot bad guys or good guys - it's up to its user. And programmers are overwhelmingly not the users. Bosses make decisions.
If I had time and money, I could create a revolutionary free speech platform meant for having the best possible ways to debate - it would be primarily a challenge for UI - how to display it best. On Reddit, here, and regular forums you have the issue of conversations getting too messy too quickly, and only notifying a single person with every reply. It's a challenging problem to solve, but there are things that can be tried.
Much of that is already available here, it just needs to be put together all at the same time:
View all comments,
full comment thread,
parent,
..and..
context.
should be clickable beneath every comment, not just spread around 'here-and-there' among different forum functions.
Probably add 'Notify X' as well, -- thread, parent, context.
And maybe Follow X, too.
The Mods would have to balance that against the additional overhead (load on the servers) it would require vs the ability / utility of providing it.
Which, BTW, Mods, there's enough of us happy to kick in a few monies towards all this .winning to make it worth your while. Know you (demure/spurn) the idea, but keep in mind.
Yeah they have a list of prohibited activities that vary from host to host, though there are some usuals — like porn accounts have to be a higher tier of service if they’re allowed at all.
Hell I once had hosting canceled years ago because I accidentally uploaded a porn video to a non public section of my site because I was doing a crude backup of a folder and didn’t realize it was in there. My domain names were fine but I had to find a new host
However they almost always have a “fuck you” clause written in lawyer-ese that pretty much says they can cancel you for any reason and they may or may not give you time to backup your stuff or not
Why would it matter anyway if they are fake doctors? Fake websites aren't allowed to exist on the internet?? LOL... fucking leftists are the scum of the earth
this. i've worked in tech for about 15 years, the first 5 directly with domains, hosting, and registration. "website expired" is not the domain expiring. they're registered via tucows. the expiry page would most likely have a tucows logo on it.
If the doctors' recently purchased the domain within the past 60 days, I want to say Tucows can refuse to transfer it until that period comes to an end.
"Fraud" is also a reason to refuse to transfer the domain according to ICANN rules:
I wonder if Tucows can claim the content on the doctors' website was fraudulent and refuse to transfer it.
not being able to transfer for a grace period is pretty standard practice. the two statuses: clientUpdateProhibited and clientTransferProhibited, are security measures to prevent fraud. i.e., they have to contact their registrar in order to make changes, i would assume not through a control panel.
But my point remains: SquareSpace ** first** said that they shut Frontline Doctors down for spreading false or misleading information.
If it were a simple matter of the hosting being expired, they ought to be able sort that out easily - especially since SquareSpace is free. SquareSpace doesn't want them because they are talking about the effectiveness of HCQ. So SquareSpace will keep coming up with reasons not to put their site back up.
Never use squarespace for anything. Hire a designer and get a real website that you own on your own server that's protected by cloudflare. Never use Godaddy either.
The vast majority of business owners do not have to spend thousands of dollars on designers and DEVELOPERS (you forgot the developer in your equation, designers are worthless without someone to actually build what they poop out). We developers are also relatively expensive, even compared to our already expensive designer counterparts.
Wix/squarespace/whatever, functionally, is MORE than enough for most small business and agencies.
If you want to choose technology based on political leaning, well, you're fucked. The whole tech space is so left that developers are not allowed to have political views unless it involves LGBTQ and empowering women.
Godaddy, as much of a dick as the guy is, at least is not an SJW cuck. (godaddy as a service though, I agree, is terrible)
Private hosting is.... tricky. Especially if you have significant traffic. A large part of the internet runs off of cloud services like aws, azure, etc owned by amazon, microsoft, google, etc.
A lot of hosts and providers are actually even using these services in the background. So you'd need to vet your potential provider.
There's a reason there's monopoly hearings going on. These people they are interviewing are part of a very small group that pretty much control literally all of the western internet.
If its just an informational site with pages and videos but no login or forums etc, there is no reason to not do it the easy and cheap way. Im not developer but I had some really nice sites for game mods I used to make back in the day. Looked extremely professional, but was mostly just me dragging and dropping/resizing with a dash of coding. There was no login; it was just informational on how to use the mod. Lots of videos and stuff embedded; its all easy stuff with the software these hosts can provide.
I've been building enterprise websites with CMS/CRMs for the better part of decades, and often times there are high budget clients who would save literally 10s of thousands by just using pre-existing software for brochure style websites.
Even things like forums, mailing lists, galleries, etc, are integrated with "no code site builders", the con is that you have ultimately less control over how it looks and operates, but for the vast majority of small business cases, this is actually fine.
Hello, I’m Dr. Stella Immanuel. I’m a primary care physician in Houston, Texas. I actually went to medical school in West Africa, Nigeria, where I took care of malaria patients, treated them with hydroxychloroquine and stuff like that. So I’m actually used to these medications. I’m here because I have personally treated over 350 patients with COVID. Patients that have diabetes, patients that have high blood pressure, patients that have asthma, old people … I think my oldest patient is 92 … 87 year olds. And the result has been the same. I put them on hydroxychloroquine, I put them on zinc, I put them on Zithromax, and they’re all well.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (06:12)
For the past few months, after taking care of over 350 patients, we’ve not lost one. Not a diabetic, not a somebody with high blood pressure, not somebody who asthma, not an old person. We’ve not lost one patient. And on top of that, I’ve put myself, my staff, and many doctors that I know on hydroxychloroquine for prevention, because by the very mechanism of action, it works early and as a prophylaxis. We see patients, 10 to 15 COVID patients, everyday. We give them breathing treatments. We only wear surgical mask. None of us has gotten sick. It works.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (06:46)
So right now, I came here to Washington DC to say, America, nobody needs to die. The study that made me start using hydroxychloroquine was a study that they did under the NIH in 2005 that say it works. Recently, I was doing some research about a patient that had hiccups and I found out that they even did a recent study in the NIH, which is our National Institute … that is the National … NIH, what? National Institute of Health. They actually had a study and go look it up. Type hiccups and COVID, you will see it. They treated a patient that had hiccups with hydroxychloroquine and it proved that hiccups is a symptom of COVID. So if the NIH knows that treating the patient would hydroxychloroquine proves that hiccup is a symptom of COVID, then they definitely know the hydroxychloroquine works.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (07:42)
I’m upset. Why I’m upset is that I see people that cannot breathe. I see parents walk in, I see diabetic sit in my office knowing that this is a death sentence and they can’t breathe. And I hug them and I tell them, “It’s going to be okay. You’re going to live.” And we treat them and they leave. None has died. So if some fake science, some person sponsored by all these fake pharma companies comes out say, “We’ve done studies and they found out that it doesn’t work.” I can tell you categorically it’s fixed science. I want to know who is sponsoring that study. I want to know who is behind it because there is no way I can treat 350 patients and counting and nobody is dead and they all did better.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (08:21)
I know you’re going to tell me that you treated 20 people, 40 people, and it didn’t work. I’m a true testimony. So I came here to Washington DC to tell America nobody needs to get sick. This virus has a cure. It is called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax. I know you people want to talk about a mask. Hello? You don’t need mask. There is a cure. I know they don’t want to open schools. No, you don’t need people to be locked down. There is prevention and there is a cure.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (08:48)
And let me tell you something, all you fake doctors out there that tell me, “Yeah. I want a double blinded study.” I just tell you, quit sounding like a computer, double blinded, double blinded. I don’t know whether your chips are malfunctioning, but I’m a real doctor. I have radiologists, we have plastic surgeons, we have neurosurgeons, like Sanjay Gupta saying, “Yeah, it doesn’t work and it causes heart disease.” Let me ask you Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Hear me. Have you ever seen a COVID patient? Have you ever treated anybody with hydroxychloroquine and they died from heart disease? When you do, come and talk to me because I sit down in my clinic every day and I see these patients walk in everyday scared to death. I see people driving two, three hours to my clinic because some ER doctor is scared of the Texas board or they’re scared of something, and they will not prescribe medication to these people.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (09:35)
I tell all of you doctors that are sitting down and watching Americans die. You’re like the good Nazi … the good one, the good Germans that watched Jews get killed and you did not speak up. If they come after me, they threaten me. They’ve threatened to … I mean, I’ve gotten all kinds of threats. Or they’re going to report me to the bots. I say, you know what? I don’t care. I’m not going to let Americans die. And if this is the hill where I get nailed on, I will get nailed on it. I don’t care. You can report me to the bots, you can kill me, you can do whatever, but I’m not going to let Americans die.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (10:09)
And today I’m here to say it, that America, there is a cure for COVID. All this foolishness does not need to happen. There is a cure for COVID. There is a cure for COVID is called hydroxychloroquine. It’s called zinc. It’s called Zithromax. And it is time for the grassroots to wake up and say, “No, we’re not going to take this any longer. We’re not going to die.” Because let me tell you something, when somebody is dead, they are dead. They’re not coming back tomorrow to have an argument. They are not come back tomorrow to discuss the double blinded study and the data. All of you doctors that are waiting for data, if six months down the line you actually found out that this data shows that this medication works, how about your patients that have died? You want a double blinded study where people are dying? It’s unethical. So guys, we don’t need to die. There is a cure for COVID.
Dr. Stella Immanuel: (06:46) So right now, I came here to Washington DC to say, America, nobody needs to die. The study that made me start using hydroxychloroquine was a study that they did under the NIH in 2005 that say it works.

Never ever have your domain, hosting, and DNS under one company. I run my own cPanel servers, have my domains at a registry that is not my server provider, and DNS somewhere else too.
WTF, this shit is getting worse than effing China with the censorship.
How do we not have an accessible source of information sharing across the Internet without being stifled and censored at every turn by these absolute anti-American scum bags?
When I make a damn phone call, we don't have someone listening for wrong think, or any stupid thing that someone happens to disagree with, at least I hope.
These assholes are breaking the law just because it's convenient, and we allow them to do so.
How Convenient. The tech companies will have to pay for their shenanigans, I’m looking forward to that and I’m sure next term they will be on the chopping block.
They dropped the ball and we just got a glimpse of what goes on before big anti-COVID-19 stories break.
I suspect this happens more than we know and other doctors have been silenced over the last few months. This is something Squarespace would have been able to do weeks ago and kept it under wraps. But they had to do a rush job on it. Leaving them up to be sued and risk even more coverage.
Tech has centralized it's power over information and it's dissemination. Now that they have everyone in their grasp they control information itself. This is just the beginning.
The lesson is not have your website name registration and hosting with the same company.
With a registration, you can fire up the website with another hosting company in an hour or so
I’m surprised tech people would be so careless with their stated reasons. It’s very easy to look almost any of this kind of thing up to see they’re lying.
Squarespace is not tech people. They purchased an application and sell that service to people. They are marketing people not tech people.
Tech people just do the programming jobs, add features, fix bugs, create applications. We are creators of things, it's not up to us what and how it is used. It's our duty to make applications versatile, not to impose our personal preferences. We create default values for options, something like recommended settings, but the point is to be able to change them without changing the code itself. So we add whitelists and blacklists, and add options for banning in various ways like "trends", without being aware of the implications.

Could someone give this guy a million dollars please that sounds keen.

The person on staff that did it at least knows enough that anyone could just look it up to prove it wasn’t taken down for expiring.
“Oh my bad! I must have misread the year.” is what the contractor who did this on purpose will say.
Something along the lines of...malpractice.
There’s nothing to sue over, web host canceled their hosting, but can’t cancel domains or anything like that due to ICANN
Domain name is still the property of the doctors
Yeah they have a list of prohibited activities that vary from host to host, though there are some usuals — like porn accounts have to be a higher tier of service if they’re allowed at all.
Hell I once had hosting canceled years ago because I accidentally uploaded a porn video to a non public section of my site because I was doing a crude backup of a folder and didn’t realize it was in there. My domain names were fine but I had to find a new host
However they almost always have a “fuck you” clause written in lawyer-ese that pretty much says they can cancel you for any reason and they may or may not give you time to backup your stuff or not
Gee. I wonder who in Silicon Valley has the most to gain by silencing them????
The left is saying they are all fake doctors and actors anyway.
Does he weigh the same as a duck?
Have an upvote for the masterful Monty Python reference good sit!
As opposed to the leftist journalists and politicians who are the REAL medical experts.
Why would it matter anyway if they are fake doctors? Fake websites aren't allowed to exist on the internet?? LOL... fucking leftists are the scum of the earth
Wait, wasn't SquareSpace's first story that they took them down for spreading false or misleading information?
Now they say it's because their domain expired?
What story will they come up with next?
Their hosting 'expired', not the domain name. I dont believe a web host can "seize" a domain name because they're subject to ICANN's rules.
this. i've worked in tech for about 15 years, the first 5 directly with domains, hosting, and registration. "website expired" is not the domain expiring. they're registered via tucows. the expiry page would most likely have a tucows logo on it.

not being able to transfer for a grace period is pretty standard practice. the two statuses: clientUpdateProhibited and clientTransferProhibited, are security measures to prevent fraud. i.e., they have to contact their registrar in order to make changes, i would assume not through a control panel.
Fraud in this context isn’t about content, it’s if you defrauded the registrar with a stolen identity, credit card etc
The left when you catch them breaking the rules:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IagRtAIR_rw
Thanks for the clarification.
But my point remains: SquareSpace ** first** said that they shut Frontline Doctors down for spreading false or misleading information.
If it were a simple matter of the hosting being expired, they ought to be able sort that out easily - especially since SquareSpace is free. SquareSpace doesn't want them because they are talking about the effectiveness of HCQ. So SquareSpace will keep coming up with reasons not to put their site back up.
Yeah this is SquareSpace saying “nope, not dealing with this bullshit”
Maybe they care, maybe they don’t about what the content was, because it could be a simple as not in the mood to deal with the PR headache.
Either way, craven ass company
Never use squarespace for anything. Hire a designer and get a real website that you own on your own server that's protected by cloudflare. Never use Godaddy either.
As a web developer, I'm giving opposite advice,
The vast majority of business owners do not have to spend thousands of dollars on designers and DEVELOPERS (you forgot the developer in your equation, designers are worthless without someone to actually build what they poop out). We developers are also relatively expensive, even compared to our already expensive designer counterparts.
Wix/squarespace/whatever, functionally, is MORE than enough for most small business and agencies.
If you want to choose technology based on political leaning, well, you're fucked. The whole tech space is so left that developers are not allowed to have political views unless it involves LGBTQ and empowering women.
Godaddy, as much of a dick as the guy is, at least is not an SJW cuck. (godaddy as a service though, I agree, is terrible)
Seems like there would be a market for a MAGA hosting/domain company
'sort of' but you'd need a billion dollar investment to be competitive against things like AWS, rackspace, etc.
As for domain names, godaddy's founder has donated to trump and republicans, but the site its self is shit with tons of upsells.
Just use wordpress but privately hosted.
Private hosting is.... tricky. Especially if you have significant traffic. A large part of the internet runs off of cloud services like aws, azure, etc owned by amazon, microsoft, google, etc.
A lot of hosts and providers are actually even using these services in the background. So you'd need to vet your potential provider.
There's a reason there's monopoly hearings going on. These people they are interviewing are part of a very small group that pretty much control literally all of the western internet.
I otherwise agree with the sentiment.
It really depends if any anti trust suits will be brought. So far nothing has been done.
wordpress is a fucking nightmare. you need a degree just to understand the basics of it.
Nobody needs a degree for anything. The UI is very intuitive unless you want something highly customized.
Which basically means.. it’s easy if you want something generic and shitty looking. If you want anything half decent, it’s complicated as hell
I agree with you for the most part.
If its just an informational site with pages and videos but no login or forums etc, there is no reason to not do it the easy and cheap way. Im not developer but I had some really nice sites for game mods I used to make back in the day. Looked extremely professional, but was mostly just me dragging and dropping/resizing with a dash of coding. There was no login; it was just informational on how to use the mod. Lots of videos and stuff embedded; its all easy stuff with the software these hosts can provide.
Exactly.
I've been building enterprise websites with CMS/CRMs for the better part of decades, and often times there are high budget clients who would save literally 10s of thousands by just using pre-existing software for brochure style websites.
Even things like forums, mailing lists, galleries, etc, are integrated with "no code site builders", the con is that you have ultimately less control over how it looks and operates, but for the vast majority of small business cases, this is actually fine.
I only used godaddy to register a domain. pretty straight forward and simple. cheap too.
Webflow.io is really good and won't break or get hacked or the theme you bought is no longer updated for the latest version like WordPress.
As another web developer, don't use Cloudflare. You will pay double in bandwidth thanks to their poor caching.
Do you recommend any alternatives? cloudflare still seems to be the "go to" and I am always open to hear about alternate solutions and competing tech.
I use vanwanet.com for maga.host
Thanks pede! Stay strong. They can't oppress every programmer forever.
Elementor is basically buying an unlimited Squarespace plugin for your own web servers.
I went to school for it. I make my own.
MSM and leftcoast social media are freaked. The "real" DNC private polls must look very very bad.

Here's a link to the relevant case of hiccups being an atypical symptom of COVID19 directly from the NIH website.
Everything's in the abstract, both the hiccups and the hydroxychloroquine.
BuT ShE Is a wItCh dOcToR!!!
Yeah people are thinking web hosting and domain registration are one and the same.
It's more like paying for annual car registration and having a lease payment on top of it.
Never ever have your domain, hosting, and DNS under one company. I run my own cPanel servers, have my domains at a registry that is not my server provider, and DNS somewhere else too.
Hosting on squarespace isn't the same as their domain registration.
Still some fuckery no doubt
Assholes.
They do know people can look this shit up right? They must think we're brain dead...
You think the majority will? even on Reddit, people complained how many will just read the headlines.
They expired their subscription
WTF, this shit is getting worse than effing China with the censorship.
How do we not have an accessible source of information sharing across the Internet without being stifled and censored at every turn by these absolute anti-American scum bags?
When I make a damn phone call, we don't have someone listening for wrong think, or any stupid thing that someone happens to disagree with, at least I hope.
These assholes are breaking the law just because it's convenient, and we allow them to do so.
FREE AND OPEN INTERNET COMMUNICATION NOW!!!!
How Convenient. The tech companies will have to pay for their shenanigans, I’m looking forward to that and I’m sure next term they will be on the chopping block.
I posted this yesterday with only 24 upvotes. O well, as long as it's out there.
It's all about timing, I've made lit posts that didn't get dick, and meh posts that got upvoted hard.
Fuck SquareSpace. Sue the shit out of them.
They're more than welcome to use one of my servers.
You can always apply for a dot win.
I'm more than a little confused why the doctors haven't just moved to another site. Hosting sites are pretty easy to come by.
Maybe .WIN needs to host some more?
Domains are property of the registrant NOT registrar.
Make sure to use the contact us feature and let squarespace know how you feel, for whatever good it may do
They dropped the ball and we just got a glimpse of what goes on before big anti-COVID-19 stories break.
I suspect this happens more than we know and other doctors have been silenced over the last few months. This is something Squarespace would have been able to do weeks ago and kept it under wraps. But they had to do a rush job on it. Leaving them up to be sued and risk even more coverage.
