GoDaddy has been involved in controversy of this sort before (Verisign, Ratemycop, Family Album, Kata’ib Hezbollah). If profile whistleblower had done their research, might have seen it coming. I agree you should be able to host what the eff you want, but it's the choice of the host at the end of the day. I'm more than certain that the site had a massive influx of traffic clogging it, what with some using VPN and throw away emails to spam fake reports, and some who were trying to cash in. In a nutshell, usually a host includes a statement expressly reserving the right to terminate or cancel an account as per service terms, so they are well within their rights.
