So get a regular phone. Does Israel only have Kosher phones?

  Long story. See the linked article. There's a minor industry in Israel, and in Brooklyn, NY selling "kosher" stuff that has nothing to do with food, but is rabbi-approved. There's strong group social pressure and coercion to use only approved items. This spills over into the larger community in strange ways. In Brooklyn, there is strong opposition to bike lanes through ultra-orthodox neighborhoods. Bike lanes encourage people to ride through in scandalous form-fitting outfits.

    How is it relevant in this industry though? There are several hosting providers and name registrars that wouldn't care or are incorporated out-of-country, even some specifically owned and operated by conservatives. They violated the Godaddy TOS (which prohibits users from providing data about another person without their explicit, written consent) and are now being punished for it. Free-market capitalism is functioning as-intended.
