I can't speak for
@Rob Monster, but I'd imagine that he's chiming in on this thread because he's someone who truly understands the devastating effects of cancel culture and corporate "woke" ideology. He's hosting sites that were canceled by GoDaddy, where according to many sources, and even the owners of the sites themselves, that they were given very ambiguous reasons why they were canceled.
To summarize this entire thread, it seems that there's essentially two trains of thought. The first train of thought is that GoDaddy has a bad overreaching policy regarding locking domains down without a court order, and they merely followed their own bad policy. The second train of thought, is that in addition to the above, there's a possibility that someone at Godaddy (or multiple people) simply don't agree with Brent's personal (albeit vocal) ideology, and they're acting no different than YouTube, Twitter or Facebook employees, using their "wokeness" as an opportunity to unleash a little social justice onto folks they despise. Do we know that's what happened in Brent's case? Nope. Is it possible, given GoDaddy's track record? IMO, one would have to be rather foolish and naive to think that it's
not at least a possibility.
The problem with the second train of thought, is that these kinds of things are extremely hard to prove, so most people simply ignore the possibility altogether. I mean, in a hypothetical situation where ideology and bias did play a role in locking someone's domains down, I can't imagine GoDaddy ever admitting it. Where's the upside in admitting such a thing, right? And that's why discussions like this take place. Because deep down, most decent people understand that cancel culture is an insidious epidemic that is unhealthy for business and freedom of speech. Again, I'm wagering that if wasn't for GoDaddy's endless stream of wokeness on social media and beyond, that most of us wouldn't really be even concerned about this issue.
Arguably the oddest thing about this case (other than locking down domains without an order to do so), is also the communication (or lack thereof according to Brent) from GoDaddy, and simply just how long this whole case has been dragging on.
