The Gaza video archive is https://genocide.live, and it was Namecheap that took it down.

It looks like it has been restored, and responsibility attributed to a moderator acting hastily due to the extreme nature of the content: https://sunur.substack.com/p/namecheap-stole-the-domain-of-g...

I don't like the idea of registrars doing moderation at all.


> liberal progressive hypocrisy

zionist mccarthyism isn't progressive


Or Cloudflare, for that matter…


That's valid, and I think a point that Cloudflare itself has acknowledged. Cloudflare is, however not quite as fundamental as domain names.


Thanks for linking this article! However, the full description of the incident seems that Namecheap blocked the domain, the CEO got into tweet arguments justifying it (and taking inconsistent positions), and after the backlash said it was a hasty block by the mod team, without an apology.

I generally give NC the benefit of the doubt (because of their principled stance on Ukraine, which to me means they can be principled elsewhere too), but in this case it's very difficult to explain it away.

Visible to me, it is not Musk who keeps you from seeing this. Use an X proxy like Nitter to see the content without logging in, that's how I read things on X. These proxies can not be used to post there but since I've never felt the need to post anything there that's no problem to me.

> that's how I read things on X

So you are not following posted link either.


I'm following it through my own Nitter proxy because I do not want to log in to X. I do the same with Reddit and Youtube, I use SearXNG for search, XMPP instead of any of the established messaging services for messaging, etc. The fact that the content is visible through Nitter means it is visible on X since Nitter in its current incarnation uses normal logged-in accounts to do its thing.


Free speech absolutist!


That line will haunt Musk to the end of his days. That was a very sexy thing to say, but quite a different beast when it is time to walk the talk.

Musk has buckled, talking the walk instead.


he's a psychopath like the rest of them rich and powerful. he'll say anything that will get him more wealth and influence.


that is almost the same parent said in a less aggressive manner.


psychopathy is a personality disorder, not an insult.


Such a free speech absolutist that you can't even say he censored something without being auto-flagged. What a strange HN policy. Hi dang!
