Wikipedia.org is with GoDaddy (who.is)

The title is kind of confusing for me, it makes me thing Wikipedia.org agrees with GoDaddy, not that its domain is registered in GoDaddy.


Is this turning into a witch hunt now??


When wasn't this a witch hunt?

Since discussion on SOPA began, the Internet and the hivemind started to condemn everyone that supported it.

I don't think it's about blaming Wikipedia because of using GoDaddy, but making them think if it should be a good option to switch.


It's bizarre. Soon people will start listing whoever is connected to companies that haven't switched from GoDaddy.

Makes me wish we had an intervention by pg, like the Great Erlang Flood of 2009.


In a bit of irony, "the Internet" appears to be seeking to "make an example". Just like the entertainment industry sought to "make an example" with a few select, big-dollar prosecutions, a few years ago.

What goes around, comes around.
