They can host all the political dubious sites they want, but when they sell a service that protects from what they’re hosting (booster services where they offer DDoS for sale sites), it starts to look an awful lot like a protection racket.

That’s a nice website you’ve got there. It would be a shame if someone DDoS’d it. Hey btw, I sell DDoS protection services. Gee, isn’t that just so convenient!
