Takedowns run amok? The strange Secret Service/GoDaddy assault on JotForm (updated)
by Decius at 10:56 pm EST, Feb 16, 2012

JotForm also doesn't create content itself. Instead, it helps customers create online forms that can then be embedded in their websites for easy data collection.

But that didn't spare the site from having its entire business shuttered without warning yesterday as the site's domain name was shut down at the request of the US Secret Service. JotForm's domain name registrar, GoDaddy, redirected the site's nameservers to NS1.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM—and with that, JotForm.com became unreachable and the site's two million user-created forms all broke.

And it all may have been done without a court order.

Would supporters of SOPA who claim there are no freedom of speech concerns associated with a U.S. Government website blacklist care to explain THIS?
