Free hosts deleting sites
Julia Scheeres at Wired reports on free hosting services deleting sites without notice based on controversial content. Yahoo-Geocities recently deleted a two-year-old site called Guerrilla Queer Bar, "the virtual meeting place for a large group of San Francisco gays who are bored with the Castro scene and organize field trips to drinking holes in outlying neighborhoods," then relented and reinstated the site after a phone complaint campaign. The organizer is moving the site to Weblogger.com anyway. Scheeres also discusses similar cases involving anti-death penalty and anti-abortion sites.
