Do you trust GoDaddy over SOPA?

[milan_cvejic]

GoDaddy changed their position, and now they do not support SOPA.

What do you think, did they changed position because of threat of losing their customers, and can we believe them that they will not actually support it secretly?

As we already saw their stance about this topic.

Clearly personal opinion but if they wanted to oppose SOPA, they would have done so on their own from the beginning. While the public rally against GoDaddy have made them publicly choose to oppose SOPA (which is a good thing, assuming they're not doing back-handed work under the table), it doesn't change the fact that truthfully they want to support SOPA if it wasn't for the outcry and loss of income.

I am against SOPA and while I disagreed with their original view of supporting SOPA, I respected their decision even if its different than my own because they were choosing to stand for what they believe in (regardless of how others may feel, myself included). Doing what they're doing now is basically compromising their own integrity and core value, not because they have a change of heart in their positioning. For that, I can't respect them. This is of course irregardless of other things I disagree with and of the type of service they provide.
