They've actively lied to people.
They intentionally deceive people.
For example: Their contact information is in WHOIS for countless domains. If you send an abuse complaint to the address in WHOIS, you get a form response telling you to fill out a form on a web site, which is clumsy, slow, has tons of errors, and basically makes the whole process time consuming and arduous.
The form response implies but does not state that they ignore abuse complaints unless abuse is reported in their shitty web form. I asked repeatedly for clarification. They answered with bullshit and sidespeak and WOULD NOT ANSWER DIRECTLY for months.
In a nutshell: they don't want you to report abuse, and they make it hard on purpose, and they're assholes about answering simple, direct questions. Why? Because they make money from spammers and scammers.
They've told me that phishing sites they host that claim to be Adobe ("Flash Updaters") or Bank of America are exercising "free speech". They just don't want to be bothered.
And the whole "We don't host" bullshit: if you provide services on the Internet that contribute to stuff on the Internet working, and if you stopped providing those services, that stuff would stop working, YOU'RE HOSTING. It doesn't matter if it's just DNS, or if it's a caching proxy - you're still facilitating services on the Internet. But just listen to their absolute bullshit about how they "don't host", and you know they're shitty people.
That doesn't even touch on how they're intentionally stratifying the Internet by putting CAPTCHAs on everything and blocking the poor half of the world, and how, if they had their way, they'd be a monopoly that would re-centralize and completely stratify the whole planet...
