I strongly disagree. Anyone and everyone is already spending lots of effort opposing SOPA. If a company that supports SOPA would suddenly go out of business (one can dream) that would send a vastly bigger message than a bunch of useless online polls and blog posts.
- redguava 15y agoI hope you are right. It just seems like the focus is too far shifted to GoDaddy currently.
- shoeless 15y agoI believe the goal is not to see GoDaddy go out of business, but instead reverse it's stance on SOPA. And quickly.
- drivingmenuts 15y agoProbably won't happen. The head guy at GoDaddy is right-wing and is outspoken enough not to work against what he sees as his own interests. At best, it will probably turn out like the issue at Whole Foods, formerly as seen as a very left-wing-friendly food store. The CEO gave a right-wing statement on some social policy legislation and got excoriated for his view. Eventually, after enough flaming, he backed down on the statement, but his views didn't change, just the official company line. Call it cynicism or whatever, but I don't think Bob Parsons is capable of a real change of heart on this matter unless it seriously affects his pocketbook, and even then, he would be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
