"Email to Barnhardt sent.

Reply: “Site5 hosting killed us after receiving a “third party complaint”. Full-on totalitarian censorship. Spread the word. We will work to get hosting offshore set up immediately. Remember, if you aren’t taking enemy fire, you need to examine your conscience. 👍🙏” — Barnhardt"

There have been important legal battles about whether or not an internet “carrier” is responsible for the content they deliver or not.

This is very important, because some want to monetize the content they deliver, in which case they should be responsible.

Others simply want to provide a service to anyone who wants to host on the internet.

When providers start censoring, the line is crossed, and they become legally responsible.

Law precedence in the works...

Ann’s back online for now, from her site just now:[https://www.barnhardt.biz/]:

Michael W. Site5 Compliance Team

I'm not too internet savvy Apostoli, maybe you can tell me just who is the "Site5 Compliance Team?............

[DuncanWaring]

As far as I know, “Ann Barnhardt” is her real name.

[DiogenesLamp]

She’s back up.

Good!

[DuncanWaring]

She was definitely down earlier today, and has migrated to a new host.

[DiogenesLamp]

I haven’t seen her name in a few years, but I have definitely heard of her/seen her videos from a few years back.

Like I said, I'm not a regular there, but I liked her take on things when I did visit.

[DuncanWaring]

Her earlier host claimed she violated their Acceptable Use policy, which was utter bunk.

[DuncanWaring]

“Site5” was her previous hosting site.

[DiogenesLamp]

The left is purging all who disagree.

They are trying. We can't let them succeed.

[DiogenesLamp]

One of the first things we need to do is get all conservative sites with mirrors offshore.

I was thinking that Free Republic needs a mirror somewhere else in the Country. Perhaps Utah. They are pretty conservative there.

[DuncanWaring]

Ping.

[DiogenesLamp]

Jim Robinson is right to have his own servers and host his own site. It may or may not cost more, it may or may not be less reliable, but I think the protection against being at the mercy of a gutless (or outright hostile) hosting service is worth it.

Yup.

[DiogenesLamp]

Just curious, where did you get your crap info from? She hasn't been taken down and all of her videos are still available.

It's been restored. It was taken down. All the information about what happened is in the link I posted.

[DiogenesLamp]

It’s doubtful she violated acceptable use

https://www.site5.com/legal/acceptable-use-policy/

They don't care. There is a feeding frenzy (driven by the lying media out of New York and Atlanta) and all these liberal tech corporations are caught up in it.

[DiogenesLamp]

She is also outspoken in her opposition to Islam.

Or what the left now calls "Hate speech."

Since 911 the Islamists have made stunning advances into our society. How can this be...they should have been purged...it's backwards! I often think if the Muslims knew that killing over 3k of our people in an incinerator would make us welcome them with open arms offering billions of dollars they would have done it a lot sooner.

Today at Starbucks was a girl with the head thing on and this afternoon at a store I went to there was a tall black woman wearing the complete robes but face showing and she was with a bunch of men who were dressed normally. I have to wonder how these women feel about having to dress like that. But the thing to me is we didn't used to have these people here. 911 has changed all that....everyone is afraid of being called an Islamophobe which is ridiculous with the terrorism going on. If you're not wary of Muslims you're an idiot...a dodo soon to be extinct.

And now ordinary Americans are being called White Supremacists...if you voted for Trump you're a Nazi. I hope no one believes this crap but I'm afraid to a certain extent it's working.

I think they should all be designated "Public Carriers" and d@mn their ability to discriminate based on content or ownership.

Site5 is near Area 51.

[Does so]

BTW I’m not a catholic, but appreciate her because she is.

If I'd gotten here sooner, I would have written the same words! :)
