And it's Levison making the statement not GoDaddy. He's perfectly free to state one thing in public and do another in private. I may just be reading too much into the quotes from GoDaddy but in my mind none of them point to them definitively killing the certificate on their own.
- p4bl0 13y agoI may be naive, but I don't see why he would state such a thing rather than not saying anything if you were right. I also don't see why GoDaddy would put themselves in the middle of a court affair with the feds for nothing.
- yebyen 13y agoYou might not know this, but Mandrake (of Enlightenment WM and VA-Linux fame) is just recently now become in charge of computery people and things at GoDaddy. I hadn't thought to make the association until you put it out there, but he is a straight up hax0r, and I kind of expect that if his underlings hadn't already picked up the news and done this on their own, he would be momentarily busy reprimanding folks until they did. If we didn't know, it's one thing, but GoDaddy are not the ones who got the NSL in this case. So, why wouldn't they? Feds or no feds, GoDaddy's business is international and they are responsible to us all, just like ICANN. These companies/NGOs have been accused of being tools of the US government enough times without actually being accountable to the US Government (well, that's ICANN, I don't know about GoDaddy). I don't see it so much as striking back, as it's like... not being giant tools in a public forum kind of way.
