Conversely, many of us would appreciate a list of companies who have solid values and aren't afraid to take a stand against oppressive institutions like the Texas government. I'd never use GoDaddy for many reasons, but good on them for not caving to the "free speech at any cost" crowd.

Question: How would you feel about ICANN or root server owners like Verisign or Network Solutions retracting IPs and domain names from governments and organizations for actions they don't like? Under §230, they're obviously entitled to do so.

Its nuanced and it really depends on what they're removing, why they're removing it, and how it will affect people in the end.

A corporation removing a site with the goal of stripping vulnerable women of their reproductive rights and and policing their bodily autonomy by reporting them to the state is something I support 110%.

HN is all about fighting institutions that are actively eroding our right to privacy until said institutions set their crosshairs on women (or other minority groups). It's tiring.

Aren't children in the womb a more vulnerable minority group?

You're entitled to answer "No." to that question, but please don't say it's tiring looking down from your moral high ground as if your position is the only one that cares about human rights.

This is a complex issue, and, for what it's worth, I think there are multiple problems with the Texas legislation and the court's reaction to it.

> solid values

You mean values that change over time and along with fashion? That's the opposite of "solid".

[greyivy]

Values are supposed to evolve over time. It would be an issue if they went back on this, however. We'll see what happens.
