I really despise when corporations choose to censor their customers and users. I don't care what the content is if it's technically legal. If it matters at all

The thing is other customers and potential customers do care.

  I don't get it. GoDaddy has nothing to do with the content. They're not even a messager. One step further and it could be a a supermarket denying food to anti-abortion activists, because there are people not wanting to buy groceries at the same place. I would go as far as saying that people concerned about GoDaddy providing services to anti-abortion groups don't even deserve a website. I work for for a SaaS, on the shop floor (luckily) and I'm offended that someone is intrested if someone wants to know who else is our client any more than the testimonials show. And I'm pro-choice.

    It's a bit queasy IMO. I really, really, really disliked it when the animal rights activists in Britain pushed the banks to cancel the accounts of some customers. But in this case Godaddy had a ToS and the site is in clear violation. IMO most those ToSes and EULAs are dubious, but this particular case isn't. Arguing to restrict what a ToS or EULA can say would be a good thing, but supporting that argument with the poor mistreated texan lynch mob... no. Surely another case will come by with more sympathetic victims.

You're exactly the type of person that GoDaddy needs to aplease. People who care what other people do/care/etc.
