Texas Republican Incompetence

Competence is not a Republican strong suit. It seems the website set up to receive Texas whistleblower complaints about folks aiding and abetting women to choose what happens to their bodies has been shutdown by the ISP
GoDaddy took action after Gizmodo reported that Texas Right to Life's new website, prolifewhistleblower.com, seems to violate a GoDaddy rule that says website operators may not "collect or harvest (or permit anyone else to collect or harvest) any User Content or any non-public or personally identifiable information about another user or any other person or entity without their express prior written consent." GoDaddy's terms of service also say that customers cannot use the web hosting platform in a way that "violates the privacy or publicity rights of another User or any other person or entity, or breaches any duty of confidentiality that you owe to another User or any other person or entity."

After a couple of tries they finally found a hosting service that would accept them. There's a good chance they will be able to stay on Epik since it hosts things like Gab, Parler, and 8Chan. That's good company for this kind of site. 

Update: The site got booted from Epik as well. It seems their mission simply violates basic Terms of Service everywhere.
