U.S. Government Shuts Down 84,000 Websites, ‘By Mistake’

[Sephiroth]

The US Government has yet again shuttered several domain names this week.
The Department of Justice and Homeland Security’s ICE office proudly announced that they had seized domains related to counterfeit goods and child pornography.

What they failed to mention, however, is that one of the targeted domains belongs to a free DNS provider, and that 84,000 websites were wrongfully accused of links to child pornography crimes.

The funny thing is, I doubt the government will do anything to fix any of these websites that were shut down.

Not really. They'll figure some way to get out of it. They almost always do.

I Agree, it saves them time and is far less a pain in the ass.

What amazes me is that they are wasting time with all this crap, and yet they won't do a frelling thing about the economy... STFU and work on the real problems..
