It’s probably not right to have the Wiki article start right off with the glaring statement that Epik is “known” for hosting Nazi, White Supremacist and illicit drug dealing content, but to suppress the fact that it has hosted such content is not going to happen either - this is just the way Wikipedia works. You can’t host chickens and not expect them to come home to roost.
This is just ridiculous. GoDaddy has and continues to host many horrific things from its user base of 19 million people. As does Web/Register/NetSol. They are certainly not branded on social media or public encyclopedias as such. They have no army assigned to them to preserve the illustration of hate. Gmail openly allows millions of email addresses weekly to be registered knowing full well they are being used for trafficking, hate, scams, promises of false wealth, phishing, and more. They could stop it with filters in a second - but they don't. Uniregistry played host to some of the foulest and most extremist concepts right in front of your eyes - from a Cayman address no less that allowed all types of service transactions by virtue of their location. No one questioned the names or revenue being generated from Frank's portfolio.
You won't even see them try to self-police themselves to stop it. Or go out on a limb and put their company in jeopardy as they break from the political polarization going on and try to define what responsible freedom of speech should include. In fact, one could argue they secretly encourage various forms of extremism to propagate, as a means by which they continue to use lobbyists behind the scenes to further strip rights. As one example, you are about two key signatures away from having portfolio holders branded in their own unique light, as organizations work to use UDRP assignments as a means to identify who should lose their domain portfolios. Where are the geniuses now?
From a registrar perspective, there is not a registrar in existence- or a major service provider for that matter - that does not knowingly and intentionally succumb to clear and open support of things that are bad. It is part of the thing we called
Freedom of Speech, millions have died protecting it, and some of you with your instant attacks and your policies to take the anti-position of anything that Rob or Epik says or does, are a great part of the problem. You in fact have more than a small role of accountability to play in how individuals dismantled anti-monopoly boards to create Google, Amazon, and others in the first place. By constantly attacking messengers from arrogant armchair positions without any real sense or investment in the real battle. What a waste of powerful and creative thinking. You will also be the first ones to complain loudly when your own rights are taken, and ironically you won't even know or remember how you got there.
So let's get to it...
I don't see anyone calling out NameCheap as a harbormaster of racism, extremism, and neo-nazi views. Yet the name n*gg*r.info is literally registered through them. AND ON SALE at Afternic no less - a GoDaddy company, and you can own it for $3488 right now! It is right above the phrase n*gg*rdown.com now available at $300, a domain brought to you by Network Solutions (WEB), and New Venture hasn't even hid their pride of ownership of this great nugget. This is just a small taste. GoDaddy not only is the registrar for nazin*gg*r.com, but they provided the forwarding for parking revenue, get paid for the privacy services on it, AND it also was accepted for Afternic and Fast Transfer approval. Would you like to know how many domain names and parking pages based on rape, trafficking, illegal drugs and racism they REALLY supported over the past two decades? I have a nice list! Would you like to know what they paid Frank per domain for even the horrible names in his portfolio, as they just used public money, retirement plans, pensions, and mutual fund wraps to monetize some of the most disgusting phrases every registered? I would!
You won't find anyone though with half the vigor and self-taken initiative you are using to smear Rob publicly to point these facts out. Much easier to just hate on the individual you feel like you have control over that is right in front of you. Scoring cheap points from broken lives for short-term self validation. So go ahead and pick this apart. Ignore the message of the words. Talk about rants, obsess over the portions you think you can address, belittle and debunk. I recommend try reading. See the fight being fought. Look at the people being smeared. Think about them in terms of fathers, husbands, sisters, brothers, staff, and team members, each with their own respective families and people to care for. While you are getting high and playing video games, we will be here still working at 3 AM exposing the individuals that are being used to coordinate hit pieces on organizations dedicated to protecting your rights.
Mark my words - keep messing with Epik, posting your hate against him, and there will be an exposure unlike anything you could imagine. Just even in the domaining sector alone - from individuals schilling bids in hotel rooms during major conferences, through to why they even call one of your heroes "Mr. Fister". I am tired of the hypocrisies, the double standards, and the tolerance and allowance for open hate against Rob and others here and elsewhere. You know who you are, and the roles you play in attempts to delegitimize this industry and those within it. Before I even address the individuals who melted down anti-monopoly boards to create some of your forward battle pieces. You must really think that the people in this world are weak. That the impoverished have no voice. That they won't rise to stop you. Then rise again. Rise, rise, rise, until the lambs become lions.
Please wake up people. Most of you are in quarantine for reasons you could not even begin to understand. While some fight for your rights that you have no idea you are in the process of losing. You can exercise your rights to free speech all you want and attack others here, but you are sitting on the wrong side of history. We should be lifting one another up, not bathing in the ego, pride and vanity present in these constant attacks, being used for the most part as a means to flaunt perceptions of intellectual prowess. It is pointed in the wrong directions.
May God protect you from the evil that is coming, and that which is already here.
