A website for 'whistleblowers' to expose Texas abortion providers was taken down -- again

After a Texas law restricting abortion went into effect Wednesday, an antiabortion organization had hoped to out those involved in unlawful procedures by collecting anonymous tips online.

But Texas Right to Life’s website, ProLifeWhistleblower.com, which invited people to inform on those obtaining or facilitating abortions, has not stayed up for long, as website registration providers have said the online form to submit “whistleblower” reports violates their rules. On Monday, the organization confirmed that the website redirects to its main page as it seeks to find a new digital home for the form.

"We’re exploring various long-term plans for the domain registration,” the group’s spokeswoman, Kimberlyn Schwartz, told The Washington Post. “For now, ProLifeWhistleblower.com is redirecting to TexasRightToLife.com only while we move hosts.”

After hosting provider GoDaddy booted the group from its platform last week, the site’s registration changed to list Epik, a Web hosting company that has supported other websites that tech companies have rejected, such as Gab and 8chan. The site went offline Saturday, however, after the domain registrar told the Texas organization that lobbied for the abortion ban that it had violated the company’s terms of service.

How long before the online hot hitlist is incorporated into Parlor as additional functionality?

1. I can't believe we're still talking about this joke of a website

which is nothing but a publicity stunt by its owners.

No person who's serious about trying to collect 10K is EVER going to use it.

Really all you'd be doing telling another person (the owners of the site) that THEY should sue for $10K.

Ignore this fucking site.

MHO.

2. They'll move to TOR

they can set up their site in the same location where people can hire hitmen/assassins and look at child porn

3. Oh my !

How does a website that promotes those sort of things even stay on? That's awful.

5. ToR is anonymized

It was originally designed for dissidents in oppressive countries to get information out
When you log on and go to an ipaddress, it sends you to a different location strips away that ip address gives you a new one and it does this several times, which is why it's slow
Unfortunately, others discovered they could use it for criminal enterprises and be anonymous

The site for the tor project

If you have the stomach for it, Peter Scully is likely one of the worst people who ever used tor

6. No thanks... I'm just appalled

I should not be .... but
It shows how protected my life is. And yes, the skunks usually do figure out how to take a really good thing and mess it all up for everyone.

7. Oh please ... no they won't (nt)

8. Or they will get the Russians to host them

There will always be shitstains out there willing to take their money and they will be in the company of other various deplorable shitstains on society.

9. Epik is that Russian company.

Epik hosts Parler, Gab, Bitchute and Stormfront. They also provide DNS for 8kun/8chan.

ProLifeWhistleblower being too hot for Epik to handle is an achievement.

10. I have this urge to submit an online form about how Alex Jones is aborting lizard-people fetuses.

Should I do it?

11. Again the private sector is taking a government role in

setting public policy and enforcing it. I wonder where this is headed
