They've now changed up the redirect. It now goes to a different homofascist website. Disgusting.

I e-mailed the GoDaddy abuse contact, and they shrugged me off to a government website. Here's what they wrote back:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting GoDaddy's Digital Crimes Unit Engineers department.

Unfortunately we cannot assist with this issue through this department.

GoDaddy does not allow illegal content on our customer's websites. However, as a Registrar/Hosting provider, it is not our place to determine if the site you have mentioned is actually engaging in illegal activities. GoDaddy suggests reporting your issue to IC3 via their File a Complaint page. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) who accepts online Internet crime complaints filed by a person who believes they were defrauded.

GoDaddy regularly works with courts and law enforcement from the local to the international level and has a long-standing history of cooperation with these groups. Should we receive notification from these groups in regards to this issue we will be able to work with them on the matter.

Regards,
Digital Crimes Unit Engineers

GoDaddy doesn’t have anything to do with the political connotations attached to this situation unless they attempted to cover it up; they just setup the domain names and rent server space to run the websites. They will have the “real” contact information on the registrant. Someone does need to look into this to see who actually registered and setup the site and did the page redirect. Also if any funds were donated during the time it was setup. The HRC employee / rep who did this could be in deeper water than they think if the public kicks up a fuss which they should, particularly because it was setup the day before her jailing as if they already knew Davis was going to be arrested.
